The structure of biodegradable surfactants shaped the microbial community, antimicrobial resistance, and potential for horizontal gene transfer

Chen-Wei Zheng et al.

Summary: While most household surfactants are biodegradable in aerobic conditions, their presence in biological treatment processes can lead to the proliferation of antimicrobial-resistance genes (ARG) in the biomass. This study focused on the removal of three classes of surfactants and their effects on microbial communities and ARG using the O-2-based Membrane Biofilm Reactor (O-2_MBfR). The biodegradation of quaternary ammonium surfactants poses public health concerns due to its ability to promote the proliferation of ARG.

HMDB 5.0: the Human Metabolome Database for 2022

David S. Wishart et al.

Summary: The Human Metabolome Database (HMDB) has been providing comprehensive information about human metabolites since 2007, and has undergone significant improvements and upgrades in its latest update, HMDB 5.0. These improvements include an increase in the number of metabolite entries, enhancements to metabolite descriptions, new visualization tools, and more accurately predicted spectral data sets. These upgrades are aimed at improving the usability and potential applications of the HMDB in various fields, including human metabolomics, exposomics, lipidomics, nutritional science, biochemistry, and clinical chemistry.

Increased expression of antibiotic-resistance genes in biofilm communities upon exposure to cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and other stress conditions

Yi-Hao Luo et al.

Summary: Quaternary ammonium compounds (QAC) are commonly used as surfactants and disinfectants, and may lead to proliferation of antibiotic resistance genes (ARG) in bacteria. Stressful operating conditions, such as limited oxygen and nitrogen supply or high concentrations of QAC, can significantly increase ARG expression, particularly for genes conferring antibiotic-target protection. The study highlights the importance of considering the impacts of stressors, including QAC exposure and operating conditions, in mitigating the spread of ARG in microbial communities.
