Microbiome and resistome profiles along a sewage-effluent-reservoir trajectory ...
Leão, Inês; Khalifa, Leron; Gallois, Nicolas; Vaz-Moreira, Ivone; Klümper, Uli; Youdkes, Daniel; Palmony, Shaked; Dagai, Lotan; Berendonk, Thomas U.Antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance gene (ARGs) loads dissipate through sewage treatment plants to receiving aquatic environments, but the mechanisms that mitigate the spread of these ARGs are not well understood due to the complexity of full-scale systems and the difficulty of source tracking in downstream environments. To overcome this problem, we targeted a controlled experimental system ...
Biomarkers for monitoring antibiotic resistance in aquatic environments
Teixeira, Ana Margarida Ribeiro; Vaz-Moreira, Ivone; Calderón-Franco, David; Weissbrodt, David Gregory; Purkrtova, Sabina; Gajdos, S.; Dottorini, G.The occurrence of antimicrobial resistance raises concerns as a human health threat that can be propagated through the environment. Wastewater discharge into the environment is an important source for antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Sewage collection and urban wastewater treatment plants (UWTPs) are major barriers that reduce environmental contamination by sewage-deri...
Mitigating risks and maximizing sustainability of treated wastewater reuse for ...
Yalin, David; Craddock, Hillary A.; Assouline, Shmuel; Ben Mordechay, Evyatar; Ben-Gal, Alon; Bernstein, Nirit; Chaudhry, Rabia M.; Chefetz, BennyScarcity of freshwater for agriculture has led to increased utilization of treated wastewater (TWW), establishing it as a significant and reliable source of irrigation water. However, years of research indicate that if not managed adequately, TWW may deleteriously affect soil functioning and plant productivity, and pose a hazard to human and environmental health. This review leverages the experience of research...
Candidate biomarkers of antibiotic resistance for the monitoring of wastewater ...
Teixeira, A. Margarida; Vaz-Moreira, Ivone; Calderón-Franco, David; Weissbrodt, David; Purkrtova, Sabina; Gajdos, Stanislav; Dottorini, GiuliaUrban wastewater treatment plants (UWTPs) are essential for reducing the pollutants load and protecting water bodies. However, wastewater catchment areas and UWTPs emit continuously antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), with recognized impacts on the downstream environments. Recently, the European Commission recommended to monitor antibiotic resistance in UWTPs serving more...
