Application of sewage sludge to agricultural soil increases the abundance of antibiotic resistance genes without altering the composition of prokaryotic communities.
TLDR
Sewage sludge-derived amendments must be properly treated and managed if they are to be applied to agricultural soil, posing a risk of dissemination of antibiotic resistance.About:

Guolan Wang,Dahang Deng,Chunyan Hu,Liping Lou,Ling Luo,Ling Luo,Jinsong He,Dong Tian,Yinlong Xiao,Yan He,Shirong Zhang,Shihuai Deng,Ouping Deng,Ting Lan,Huagang Huang +14 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the effect of different microbial community composition caused by different treatments on the removal of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and class 1 integrons (intI1) in excess sludge.

Risk Analysis of Heavy Metal Accumulation from Sewage Sludge of Selected Wastewater Treatment Plants in Poland
TL;DR: In this article, the potential anthropogenic hazard of HMs, especially in terms of their mobility and accumulation in soil, was analyzed and the potential environmental risk index (PERI), risk assessment code (RAC) and environmental risk determinant (ERD) were calculated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tracking the environmental dissemination of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae using whole genome sequencing.
TL;DR: This study highlights the dissemination of 'high' importance and novel ST CRKP from hospital wastewater to waterbodies, particularly in the African context where a sizable number of people still rely on direct water resources for household use, including drinking.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sludge bio-drying followed by land application could control the spread of antibiotic resistance genes
TL;DR: Sludge bio-drying following land application could constitute an effective means of controlling the spread of ARGs, and microbial community changes contributed the most to the fate of the ARGs during the entire treatment chain.

TL;DR: The environmental dissemination of selected antibiotics from hospital wastewater into municipal wastewater and lastly to a receiving water body was investigated, showing that the highest percentages of antibiotics removed was SMZ with 90%, followed by DXC, AZM and CIP with a removal efficiency of 85%, 83%, and 83%, respectively.

Analysis of relative gene expression data using real-time quantitative pcr and the 2(-delta delta c(t)) method
TL;DR: The 2-Delta Delta C(T) method as mentioned in this paper was proposed to analyze the relative changes in gene expression from real-time quantitative PCR experiments, and it has been shown to be useful in the analysis of realtime, quantitative PCR data.

An extraction method for measuring soil microbial biomass c
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of fumigation on organic C extractable by 0.5 m K2SO4 were examined in a contrasting range of soils and it was shown that both ATP and organic C rendered decomposable by CHCl3 came from the soil microbial biomass.

TL;DR: It is shown that the protocol developed for these instruments successfully recaptures known biological results, and additionally that biological conclusions are consistent across sequencing platforms (the HiSeq2000 versus the MiSeq) and across the sequenced regions of amplicons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resistance, resilience, and redundancy in microbial communities
TL;DR: It is found that the composition of most microbial groups is sensitive and not immediately resilient to disturbance, regardless of taxonomic breadth of the group or the type of disturbance, and a simple framework to incorporate microbial community composition into ecosystem process models is proposed.
