The study found that aminoglycoside and sulfonamide resistance genes were predominant in animal manure in Xinxiang, China, while fluoroquinolones were most abundant in hospital effluent. Incomplete removal of antibiotics, heavy metals, and ARGs in MWWTPs resulted in the accumulation of these contaminants in the receiving river.
Antibiotic resistance is a growing problem for ecosystem health and public healthcare. Hence, the transmission of antibiotic resistance from human and animal origins to natural environments requires careful investigation. In this study, nine antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), three mobile genetic elements (MGEs), and their relations with antibiotics, heavy metals, and microbiota were investigated in 16 sample sites (Xinxiang, China). Fluoroquinolones (0.13-14.22 mu g/L) were most abundant in hospital effluent and oxytetracycline (251.86-5817.47 mu g/kg) in animal manure. Animal manure showed the highest levels of zinc (80.79-2597.14 mg/kg) and copper (32.47-85.22 mg/kg), possibly affecting the prevalence of intI1 and aac(6 ')-Ib genes. Aminoglycoside and sulfonamide resistance genes (aac(6')-Ib, aadA, and sul1) were the main ARGs in this area. In addition, the detected ARGs and MGEs were higher in animal manure than in hospital effluent, except for the sul1 gene. On the other hand, the incomplete removal of antibiotics (29.76-100%), heavy metals (31.25-100%), and ARGs (1-3 orders of magnitude) in MWWTPs resulted in the accumulation of these contaminants in the receiving river. Network analysis suggested that the potential hosts (Jeotgalibaca, Atopostipes, Corynebacterium_1, etc.) of ARGs were more predominant in animal manure rather than hospital effluent, indicating a higher ARG transfer potential in animal manure compared with hospital sources. These results provide useful insights into the different migration and dissemination routes of antibiotics, heavy metals, ARGs, and microbiota from anthropogenic and animal origins to their receiving environments via MWWTP discharge and manure fertilization.
