Monitoring clinically prevalent antibiotic-resistant bacteria in high bacterial community diversity is challenging. This study introduces a new method called culture enriched phenotypic metagenomics, which effectively monitors antibiotic-resistant bacteria in wastewater treatment plants. The results show the widespread presence and potential dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes in this environment.
High bacterial community diversity and complexity greatly challenge the cost-efficient monitoring of clinically prevalent antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which are usually present as rare and important populations involved in the environmental dissemination of clinical resistance. Here, we introduce culture enriched phenotypic metagenomics that integrates culture enrichment, phenotypic screening, and metagenomic analyses as an emerging standardized methodology for targeted resistome monitoring and apply it to decipher the extended-spectrum beta-lactam resistome in a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and its receiving river. The results showed that clinically prevalent carbapenemase genes (e.g., the NDM and KPC families) and extended-spectrum beta-lactamase genes (e.g., the CTX-M, TEM, and OXA families) were prevalent in the WWTP and showed prominent potential in horizontal dissemination. Strikingly, carbapenem and polymyxin resistance genes co-occurred in the highly virulent nosocomial pathogens Enterobacter kobei and Citrobacter freundii. Overall, this study exemplifies phenotypic metagenomics for high-throughput surveillance of a targeted clinically important fraction of antibiotic resistomes and substantially expands current knowledge on extended-spectrum beta-lactam resistance in WWTPs.
