Occurrence of antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria in a Japanese city revealed by wastewater surveillance in the sewer system
The prevalence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) poses a significant threat to public health. In particular, increases in multi-drug-resistant bacteria, such as extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli (ESBL-EC) and carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE), limit treatment options for bacterial infections, underscoring the urgent need for robust surveillance of antibiotic resistance. In response to this need, we surveyed wastewater at 33 municipal sewer access sites in a city in Japan during January 2022 to March 2024 to assess the current antibiotic resistance status there. Concentrations of antibiotic-resistant E. coli and of antibiotics were quantified, urban land-use zones of the sewer catchments were summarized, and whole-genome sequencing was used to investigate genetic characteristics of ESBL-EC and CPE. Sewer samples shared similar antibiotic resistance profiles with the influent of five downstream wastewater treatment plants. Antibiotic-resistant E. coli concentrations were related positively with the relative abundance of residential zone and negatively with that of industrial zone. Levofloxacin and sulfamethoxazole concentrations were correlated positively with antibiotic-resistant E. coli concentrations in the sewer system. ESBL-EC were pooled in the city, where sequence type (ST) 38 and ST131 were prevalent and the blaCTX−M-14 and blaCTX−M-27 genes were predominant. CPE were identified in several sewer access sites, where E. coli carrying blaNDM-5 were the most prevalent CPE. blaGES-24 was frequently detected in Enterobacter kobei, Klebsiella michiganensis, and Klebsiella quasipneumoniae. Moreover, two novel blaGES alleles (i.e., blaGES-63 and blaGES-64) were identified in Raoultella ornithinolytica.
期刊介绍:
Water Research, along with its open access companion journal Water Research X, serves as a platform for publishing original research papers covering various aspects of the science and technology related to the anthropogenic water cycle, water quality, and its management worldwide. The audience targeted by the journal comprises biologists, chemical engineers, chemists, civil engineers, environmental engineers, limnologists, and microbiologists. The scope of the journal include:
•Treatment processes for water and wastewaters (municipal, agricultural, industrial, and on-site treatment), including resource recovery and residuals management;
•Urban hydrology including sewer systems, stormwater management, and green infrastructure;
•Drinking water treatment and distribution;
•Potable and non-potable water reuse;
•Sanitation, public health, and risk assessment;
•Anaerobic digestion, solid and hazardous waste management, including source characterization and the effects and control of leachates and gaseous emissions;
•Contaminants (chemical, microbial, anthropogenic particles such as nanoparticles or microplastics) and related water quality sensing, monitoring, fate, and assessment;
•Anthropogenic impacts on inland, tidal, coastal and urban waters, focusing on surface and ground waters, and point and non-point sources of pollution;
•Environmental restoration, linked to surface water, groundwater and groundwater remediation;
•Analysis of the interfaces between sediments and water, and between water and atmosphere, focusing specifically on anthropogenic impacts;
•Mathematical modelling, systems analysis, machine learning, and beneficial use of big data related to the anthropogenic water cycle;
•Socio-economic, policy, and regulations studies.
