Prevalence of antibiotic resistance and virulence genes in the biofilms from an aquifer recharged with stormwater

Targeting current and future threats: recent methodological trends in environmental antimicrobial resistance research and their relationships to risk assessment

“…The discrepancy was due to a shortfall in the stormwater compartment. More specifically, the groundwater, 16–35 livestock manure, 36–55 drinking water, 56–75 and wastewater 25,57,76–93 compartments each included the target number of 20 documents, while the stormwater ( n = 12) 26,94–104 compartment did not have enough documents meeting our criteria (Fig. 1).…”

Antibiotic resistance in urban stormwater: a review of the dissemination of resistance elements, their impact, and management opportunities

“…Consequently, researchers have focused on understanding the effects antibiotic resistance elements in stormwater can have on ecological functioning and human health by sampling water bodies receiving urban stormwater runoff (Table 2). 48,51,53,54,56,58,59,61,[89][90][91][92][93][94][95][96][97][98][99][100][101] Environments that receive direct inputs, such as rivers, estuaries, and lakes, have been described during, immediately after, and after an extended period following rainfall events. Conflicting results of ARG abundances during rainfall have been reported.…”

Microbiomes of air dust collected during the ground-based closed bioregenerative life support experiment "Lunar Palace 365"

“…Previous studies have shown that, in these extreme environments, microorganisms mainly come from human skin. The microbial community of the ISS is highly similar to those existing in ground, confined indoor environments, though some studies have shown increased levels of ARGs and virulence gene factors, and the metagenomic sequences of human pathogens persist over time [ 29 , 30 ]. A comparative analysis between ISS and a similar environment on Earth showed that the microbial composition on the environmental surfaces of the ISS is different [ 25 ].…”
