Assessment of seasonal variations in antibiotic resistance genes and microbial communities in sewage treatment plants for public health monitoring
The spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) around the globe, especially in the urban cities with high population, is a major concern. Therefore, the current study aims at identifying antibiotic resistant bacteria, microbial community compositions and the quantification of antimicrobial resistant genes from six sewage treatment plants (STPs) across Pune city in Maharashtra, India. A total of 106 isolates obtained were tested against six antibiotics in which the highest resistance was observed against trimethoprim (24.53 %). The qPCR assays of seven antibiotic resistance genes revealed abundance of blaimp-1 and mecA genes in the summer and monsoon seasons followed by blaNDM-1 gene in the summer and winter seasons. The alpha diversity indices depicted highest microbial diversity of inlet samples during winter, followed by inlet samples during the summer and monsoon seasons. Comparative analysis revealed Bifidobacterium (51 %), Pseudomonas (28.7 %) and Zoogloea (17.6 %) as the most abundant genera in the inlet samples during the summer, monsoon and winter seasons respectively while Acinetobacter (31 %) and Flavobacterium (23 % in winter and 18.2 % in summer) dominated the outlet samples. The co-network analysis revealed positive and negative interactions in the winter and monsoon but only positive interactions in the summer season. Venn diagrams showed higher abundance of ASVs in the outlet samples than the inlet. The top genera correlated exactly opposite with the pH compared to BOD and COD. PICRUSt2-based functional prediction revealed a higher abundance of methicillin resistance, β-lactamase resistance and multidrug resistance genes in inlet samples while chloramphenicol resistance was found higher in outlet samples. Further, we observed that potential pathogens causing infectious disease such as pertussis, shigellosis and tuberculosis were present in all three seasons.
期刊介绍:
Environmental Pollution is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes high-quality research papers and review articles covering all aspects of environmental pollution and its impacts on ecosystems and human health.
Subject areas include, but are not limited to:
• Sources and occurrences of pollutants that are clearly defined and measured in environmental compartments, food and food-related items, and human bodies;
• Interlinks between contaminant exposure and biological, ecological, and human health effects, including those of climate change;
• Contaminants of emerging concerns (including but not limited to antibiotic resistant microorganisms or genes, microplastics/nanoplastics, electronic wastes, light, and noise) and/or their biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Laboratory and field studies on the remediation/mitigation of environmental pollution via new techniques and with clear links to biological, ecological, or human health effects;
• Modeling of pollution processes, patterns, or trends that is of clear environmental and/or human health interest;
• New techniques that measure and examine environmental occurrences, transport, behavior, and effects of pollutants within the environment or the laboratory, provided that they can be clearly used to address problems within regional or global environmental compartments.
