Abstract

In recent decades, antibiotic resistance (AR) has become a public health concern fuelled by increasing antibiotic consumption in many societies. Aquatic environments play a crucial role in AR development and spread where they receive antibiotics, antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) from a number of sources such as agriculture, aquaculture and wastewater treatment plants. Modelling is an increasingly important approach to understanding AR in aquatic environments and helps identify resistance patterns of emerging concern, evaluate fate and transport, and assess infection risks as well as look into their management in the future. However, current water quality models need to be improved to deal with the development and spread of AR. Prioritising the development of fate and transport models for AR could provide insights into bacterial evolution and help manage environmental pollution. This article provides a conceptual water quality modelling framework through a concise review of methods and approaches that can be used to model and evaluate AR in aquatic environments at the watershed scale. The key steps that need to build a framework include identifying sources and loadings, modelling the fate and transport of ARB and quantifying associated risks to humans and animals. Developing modelling scenarios and management strategies based on the framework could also contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goals 3 (good health and well-being) and 6 (clean water and sanitation).

用于评估水生环境中抗生素耐药性的水质建模框架
近几十年来,抗生素耐药性(AR)已成为一个公共卫生问题,在许多社会中,抗生素消费的增加加剧了这一问题。水生环境在AR的发展和传播中起着至关重要的作用,它们从农业、水产养殖和废水处理厂等许多来源接收抗生素、抗生素耐药细菌(ARB)和抗生素耐药基因(ARGs)。建模是了解水生环境中AR的一种越来越重要的方法,有助于确定新出现的耐药性模式,评估命运和运输,评估感染风险,并展望未来的管理。然而,目前的水质模型需要改进,以应对AR的发展和传播。优先发展AR的命运和运输模型可以为细菌进化提供见解,并有助于管理环境污染。本文通过对可用于在流域尺度上模拟和评估水生环境中AR的方法和途径的简要回顾,提供了一个概念性水质建模框架。需要建立框架的关键步骤包括确定来源和负荷,模拟ARB的命运和运输,以及量化对人类和动物的相关风险。根据该框架制定模拟情景和管理战略也可有助于实现可持续发展目标3(良好健康和福祉)和目标6(清洁水和卫生设施)。
