This study investigates the relationship between 25 antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and nonpoint source pollution in the Erhai basin. The results show that while the overall abundance of ARGs in Erhai Lake is low, individual genes like sulfonamide resistance genes are high. Regression analysis reveals that the discharge of nonpoint source pollution significantly affects the distribution of ARGs, with total phosphorus pollution showing a more significant impact than total nitrogen pollution.
Erhai Lake, a typical plateau deep water lake, experienced long-term nonpoint source (NPS) pollution discharge from 26 tributaries, which significantly affected the abundance and spread of resistance genes. In this study, 25 antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), classified into six types, and NPS pollution discharges were investigated throughout around the Erhai basin. FCA (mexF) and sulfonamide resistance genes (sul1, sul2 and sul3) were the most common. Although the absolute overall abundance of ARGs there was low so far, the individual gene like sulfonamide resistance gene was high. Regression analysis using an ordinary least squares model (OLS) showed that the discharge of NPS pollution into Erhai Lake would have an obvious effect on the distribution of ARGs. And the relations between them were linear. Concretely speaking, the total nitrogen (TN) pollution input from tributaries could significantly correlated with the increasing of ARG abundance, while the total phosphorus (TP) pollution input showed the opposite correlation, and ultimately affect the distribution of ARGs. Moreover, the effect of TP on ARG distribution was more significant than TN. This study provides a geographical profile of ARG distribution in a subtropical deep lake on Yunnan-Kweichow Plateau. The results are beneficial for predicting the distribution characteristics of ARGs and controlling their pollution in plateau lakes.
