Electroactive Ultrafiltration Membrane for Simultaneous Removal of Antibiotic, Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria, and Antibiotic Resistance Genes from Wastewater Effluent

Jiahuan Li et al.

Summary: In order to combat the spread of antibiotic resistance in the environment, managing wastewater effluent treatment effectively is crucial for the simultaneous removal of antibiotics, antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB), and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Researchers have developed a multifunctional electroactive poly(vinylidene fluoride) ultrafiltration membrane that not only retains ARB and ARGs effectively but also demonstrates high oxidation capacity as an electrode. The membrane has shown excellent degradation efficiency of sulfamethoxazole and significant inactivation of ARB during both anode and cathode filtration processes. Furthermore, the membrane is more efficient in degrading intracellular ARGs located in the genome compared to those located in the plasmid. The electroactive ultrafiltration membrane has also exhibited improved antifouling properties and feasibility for practical application in treating wastewater effluent.

Plants inhibit the relative abundance of sulfonamide resistance genes and class 1 integron by influencing bacterial community in rhizosphere of constructed wetlands

Ying Man et al.

Summary: The presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in wastewater poses a potential health crisis. This study explored the importance of wetland plants in removing ARGs and sulfonamides (SAs) from wastewater. The results showed that planted CWs, especially those with Cyperus alternifolius, had significantly lower abundance of target genes compared to unplanted CWs. The presence of plants also influenced gene abundance in different parts of the rhizosphere. Additionally, dissolved organic carbon and oxygen content were found to significantly influence SA concentration, microbial community, and gene abundance. These findings highlight the importance of wetland plants in controlling the risk of ARGs.

Removal behavior and key drivers of antibiotic resistance genes in two full-scale leachate treatment plants

Jun Yang et al.

Summary: Leachate is a significant reservoir for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and proper treatment is crucial for human health and ecosystem safety. In this study, high-throughput qPCR was used to investigate the removal of ARGs in full-scale leachate treatment plants (LTPs), revealing the importance of anaerobic digestion and membrane bioreactor processes. Integrated membrane filtration (UF-NF-RO) showed excellent removal efficiency of ARGs, reducing their absolute abundances by 3 to 6 orders of magnitude.

Potential of coagulation to remove particle-associated and free-living antibiotic resistome from wastewater

Kai-Feng Yu et al.

Summary: The optimum chemical dosages for PAC, PAFC, and PAC combined with PAM in removing total ARGs and MGEs were found to be 40.5, 64.7, and 50.0 mg/L, respectively. It was also observed that more coagulants were needed to remove FL-ARGs compared to PA-ARGs, and the removal efficiencies of size-fractionated ARGs by flocculation could be influenced by various factors such as coagulant type, dosage, coagulant aid, Zeta potential, and microorganism lifestyle (PA or FL).

Summary: This study investigated the impact of treated wastewater (TWW) irrigation on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in subsoil pore-water, finding that TWW irrigation increases ARG prevalence. The hypothesis was validated through field and laboratory experiments, showing that TWW irrigation promoted the spread of ARGs in subsoil pore-water.

Summary: This systematic review examines the presence and abundance of ARB and ARGs in recycled water, identifying monitoring targets and research needs for better supporting quantitative microbial risk assessment. Efforts are needed to collect concentration data per unit volume and provide sample metadata for comprehensive understanding. Additional research is necessary for identifying recommended monitoring targets and incorporating metagenomic data into risk assessment.

Fate and removal of bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes in horizontal subsurface constructed wetlands: Effect of mixed vegetation and substrate type

Ammar Abou-Kandil et al.

Summary: This study examined the impact of cropping method and substrate type on the removal of bacterial and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) by constructed wetlands (CWs) during start-up and maturation stages. The results showed that the removal efficiencies increased with operation time, with the tuff-filled serially planted CW demonstrating the highest efficiency in removing these genes. Metagenomic analysis revealed that most ARGs belonged to bacterial efflux transporter superfamilies, and although ARGs were removed, they were still detected in substrate biofilm with increased concentrations in effluents. The study suggested that a combination of serial plantation with high-surface-area substrate could enhance CWs' performance in removing bacteria and ARGs.

Chlorine disinfection facilitates natural transformation through ROS-mediated oxidative stress

Shuai Zhang et al.

Summary: This study shows that chloramine and free chlorine can significantly increase the transformation rate of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) through a series of cell responses, including increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS), bacterial membrane and DNA damage, ultimately enhancing the transformation of ARGs. Disinfectant exposure induces a stress response in cells, leading to the promotion of ARGs transformation, which could play a crucial role in managing antibiotic resistance in water systems.

The fate of sulfonamides in the process of phytoremediation in hydroponics

Jun Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigated the possibility and mechanism of phytoremediation of ten sulfonamides by different wetland plants through hydroponics. The findings suggest that rhizosphere biodegradation dominates the phytoremediation process, with plant uptake and hydrolysis playing a smaller role. Selective uptake of sulfonamides by plants in the presence of multiple sulfonamides was observed.

Summary: The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes in the environment has created challenges in treating infectious diseases, with wastewater treatment plants serving as reservoirs for these bacteria and genes. Current disinfection technologies focus on removing pathogenic microorganisms in water, but often overlook the transmission of antibiotic resistance genes. Further research is needed to develop future disinfection technologies that effectively address this issue.
