Environmental surveillance of antimicrobial resistance: the missing pillar in Europe’s One Health strategy
Abstract The presence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determinants in the environment enables their dissemination and transfer from and into human microbiomes. Environmental surveillance is a recognized cornerstone for evaluating, understanding, and mitigating emergence and exposure to resistant pathogens.

Monsoon-Triggered Surges of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Urban Indian Rivers Impacted by Untreated Wastewater Research output: Contribution to journal › Research article › Contributed › peer-review
Forschungsportal der TU Dresden
Antibiotic residues, antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs) converge in wastewater treatment plants, yet conventional processes are not designed to mitigate resistance dissemination from their effluents. While chemical disinfectants are effective, they can generate subinhibitory exposure gradients that promote resistance selection and co-selection after release into waters.

Viral and eukaryotic drivers of prokaryotic and antibiotic resistance gene diversity in wastewater microbiomes
Background Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are proliferating in wastewater microbiomes, yet the biotic forces shaping their diversity remain poorly understood. Here, we integrate 14 months of metagenomic and metatranscriptomic data from a wastewater treatment plant to reveal that viruses and microeukaryotes, long-overlooked trophic actors, may play an important role in shaping bacterial and ARG diversity.

Microbial risks triggered by oral administration of antibiotics in fish aquaculture persist long after the legally mandated antibiotic withdrawal time | Nature Water
Abstract Industrial aquaculture relies on antibiotics such as florfenicol to combat disease and maintain production, but microbial risks, particularly concerning antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) after the mandated withdrawal time, are poorly understood. To address this, we simulated standard and prolonged florfenicol treatments in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and performed metagenomic analyses of the gut resistome, mobilome and microbiome.

Towards the integration of antibiotic resistance gene mobility into environmental surveillance and risk assessment - npj Antimicrobials and Resistance
Abstract Antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) mobility plays a crucial role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance across One Health settings. Current environmental surveillance often overlooks the significance of ARG mobility, limiting risk assessment accuracy.

A key assumption for most model microbial communities is that they stably coexist, but this is rarely tested experimentally.

Effects of Cigarette-Derived Compounds on the Spread of Antimicrobial Resistance in Artificial Human Lung Sputum Medium, Simulated Environmental Media, and Wastewater | Environmental Health Perspectives | Vol. 133, No. 3-4
Materials and Methods Cigarette smoke condensate (CSC) was obtained following the protocols of Alamri41 and Abdelmalek et al.42 with minor modifications. In this study, a cigarette (Marlboro Red, Philip Morris International) was connected to a vacuum pump supplying constant suction of 100 mbar.

Drivers of antibiotic resistance in two monsoon-impacted Indian urban rivers receiving untreated wastewater
Abstract Rivers in India receive 78.7% of untreated sewage from cities and towns making it a potential global hotspot for AMR. During monsoon, flooding is common in most Indian cities bringing in fecal contamination in storm runoff. Identifying the major driving factors contributing to the elevated levels of AMR in these rivers is essential to combat AMR proliferation.

Environmental microbiome diversity and stability is a barrier to antimicrobial resistance gene accumulation - Communications Biology
Abstract When antimicrobial resistant bacteria (ARB) and genes (ARGs) reach novel habitats, they can become part of the habitat’s microbiome in the long term if they are able to overcome the habitat’s biotic resilience towards immigration. This process should become more difficult with increasing biodiversity, as exploitable niches in a given habitat are reduced for immigrants when more diverse competitors are present.
AMR DIGEST - End of the year 2023
Prepared by Anna Abramova https://twitter.com/Anna_Abramova1 The final AMR Digest of 2023 features microbial wars and weaponry evolution, “plastisphere” as a new home for bacterial communities, inter-phylum ARGs exchange, peculiarities of honeybee and stray cats microbiota, and how the distance that your steak travels before ending-up on your plate is related to MDR contamination. And much more! General The evolution of short- and long-range weapons for bacterial competition – Sean C. Booth et al.
AMR DIGEST - September 2023
Prepared by Rémi GSCHWIND (https://twitter.com/GschwindRemi) The September AMR Digest features general issues about AMR and more specific topics about policy, surveillance, AMR removal/transmission and about several specific environments. It encompasses as well from the EMBARK consortium: a study on antibiotic discovery including Luis Pedro Coelho. Enjoy your reading but first “Race against AMR” from BBC StoryWorks.
Interspecific competition can drive plasmid loss from a focal species in a microbial community - The ISME Journal
Abstract Plasmids are key disseminators of antimicrobial resistance genes and virulence factors, and it is therefore critical to predict and reduce plasmid spread within microbial communities. The cost of plasmid carriage is a key metric that can be used to predict plasmids’ ecological fate, and it is unclear whether plasmid costs are affected by growth partners in a microbial community.

Removal of AMR plasmids using a mobile, broad host-range CRISPR-Cas9 delivery tool
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes are widely disseminated on plasmids. Therefore, interventions aimed at blocking plasmid uptake and transfer may curb the spread of AMR. Previous studies have used CRISPR-Cas-based technology to remove plasmids encoding AMR genes from target bacteria, using either phage- or plasmid-based delivery vehicles that typically have narrow host ranges.

Shifts from cooperative to individual-based predation defense determine microbial predator-prey dynamics - The ISME Journal
Abstract Predation defense is an important feature of predator-prey interactions adding complexity to ecosystem dynamics. Prey organisms have developed various strategies to escape predation which differ in mode (elude vs. attack), reversibility (inducible vs. permanent), and scope (individual vs. cooperative defenses).
