Seasonal variations of microbial community and antibiotic resistome in a suburb drinking water distribution system in a northern Chinese city

Yanchu Ke et al.

Summary: This study investigates the seasonal and spatial variation of microbial community, antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), mobile genetic elements (MGEs) associated with ARGs, and ARG hosts in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS). The results reveal that temperature, ammonia, chlorite, and total plate count drive the variation in microbial community structure, while environmental parameters affect the composition of antibiotic resistome. The relative abundance of ARGs and MGEs co-occurring with ARGs is higher in summer and autumn, potentially due to detached pipe biofilm. ARG hosts also vary with season and site, with higher diversity in summer and autumn.

Metagenomic insights into the profile of antibiotic resistomes in sediments of aquaculture wastewater treatment system

Jianfei Chen et al.

Summary: Our research revealed the profiles of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), their co-occurrence with mobile genetic elements (MGEs), and potential hosts in sediments of a crab pond wastewater purification system through metagenomic analysis. The residual antibiotics seemed to increase the propagation of ARGs in the crab pond, but no clear relationship was found between specific antibiotic types and corresponding resistance genes. Aquaculture had a lesser impact on sediment compared to other anthropogenic activities, but it increased the relative abundance of sulfonamide resistance genes. MGEs, especially plasmids, increased the risk of ARG dissemination. Various microorganisms were identified as hosts of ARGs, with Proteobacteria being the predominant hosts.

Microbiomes in drinking water treatment and distribution: A meta-analysis from source to tap

Claire Thom et al.

Summary: The meta-analysis of Illumina 16S rRNA datasets from drinking water systems showed that treatment significantly reduces species abundance and richness, with chlorination having the greatest impact on individual taxa relationships. The study highlights the potential uses of 16S rRNA sequencing for water utilities, including pathogen detection, risk assessment, and monitoring of microbial community changes.

Combined effects of seasonality and stagnation on tap water quality: Changes in chemical parameters, metabolic activity and co-existence in bacterial community

Haihan Zhang et al.

Summary: This study found that seasonal changes and overnight stagnation in drinking water distribution pipeline systems can impact tap water quality, leading to decreased water quality and increased bacterial concentration. Higher microbial metabolic activity was observed in spring, with a richer bacterial community structure.

Microbial community and antibiotic resistance genes of biofilm on pipes and their interactions in domestic hot water system

Na Li et al.

Summary: This study investigated the dynamics of microbial communities and antibiotic resistance genes during biofilm formation on different types of pipes in a domestic hot water system. The study identified core taxa and potential pathogens in the biofilm community and revealed complex interactions between different microbial species. Additionally, the study highlighted the potential hosts of antibiotic resistance genes among both pathogens and nonpathogenic bacteria.

Zibo Jing et al.

Summary: The study characterized bacterial communities in DWDS in northern China using high-throughput sequencing, finding no significant differences among the entire bacterial community between different DWDSs, but variations with seasons. Switching water sources may increase the relative abundance of potentially opportunistic pathogens in DWDSs.

A comprehensive investigation of the microbial risk of secondary water supply systems in residential neighborhoods in a large city

Dong Hu et al.

Summary: This study found that secondary water supply systems (SWSSs) pose a higher microbial risk than the drinking water network, highlighting the importance of strengthening the monitoring frequency and scope of microbial risks in these systems in megacities for the prevention and control of waterborne epidemic diseases.

Reproducible Microbial Community Dynamics of Two Drinking Water Systems Treating Similar Source Waters

Sarah Potgieter et al.

Summary: This study compared the spatiotemporal dynamics of the drinking water microbiome in two drinking water treatment plants with identical sequences of treatment strategies, finding highly similar postfiltration microbial communities between the two systems despite differences in source water communities. However, high community turnover due to disinfection resulted in highly dissimilar microbial communities in the finished water between the two systems. Interestingly, the degree of similarity of the microbial communities in the two systems increased during transit through the DWDS despite the presence of a disinfectant residual.
