随着四环素类抗生素在畜禽养殖中的广泛应用,畜禽粪便已成为四环素类抗生素和抗性基因的重要富集位点,其未经处理直接施用具有潜在的生态环境和人类健康风险。堆肥化处理可有效消减畜禽粪便中的四环素类抗生素,并且对抗性基因的扩散和传播具有一定的控制效果。本综述比较了不同的堆肥化工艺对粪肥中四环素类抗生素消减的效果,并重点讨论了其微生物降解机理,总结了堆肥化处理对粪肥中四环素抗性基因消减的研究进展,进一步讨论了堆肥化处理过程中抗性基因变化的微生态机理与控制策略,最后提出了采用热水解等预处理工艺去除抗生素压力和采用厌氧堆肥化工艺增强抗性基因控制的技术建议,以及从动态的角度采用高通量的检测技术来解析抗性基因消减机制的研究策略建议。     

抗生素耐药基因在畜禽粪便-土壤系统中的分布、扩散及检测方法

抗生素耐药基因作为一种新型的环境污染物已引起研究者的高度关注。畜禽养殖业长期将抗生素添加到饲料中,在促进动物生长、预防和治疗动物疾病等方面起了重要作用。这些抗生素大多数不能被动物完全吸收,在动物肠道中诱导出耐抗生素细菌和抗生素耐药基因,并随着粪便排出体外。畜禽粪便作为重要的抗生素、耐抗生素细菌和抗生素耐药基因储存库,通过堆粪、施肥等农业活动进入土壤环境中,可刺激土壤中耐抗生素细菌和抗生素耐药基因的富集。耐药基因借助于基因水平转移等方式在土壤介质中进一步传播扩散,甚至进入植物中随食物链传播,对生态环境和人类健康造成极大的威胁。为了正确评估抗生素耐药基因的生态风险,本文结合国内外相关研究,系统阐述了畜禽粪便-土壤系统中抗生素耐药基因的来源、分布及扩散机制,同时探讨了细菌耐药性的主要研究方法,指出堆肥化处理仍是目前去除抗生素耐药基因的主要手段,并对今后的研究方向进行展望。     

土壤中抗性基因的产生,扩散传播以及消减的研究进展

近年来,土壤中残留的大量抗生素不可避免的导致耐药微生物和抗性基因的增加和扩散,引起一系列土壤污染和生态风险。作为一类新兴污染物,抗性基因的污染水平已经远远超出我们的预想,因此对土壤中抗性基因的分布水平、扩散传播及消减技术的研究刻不容缓。本文对国内外土壤中抗生素和抗性基因残留水平进行了总结分析,探讨了土壤中抗性基因的产生、扩散的内在动力和机制。同时,分析了土壤中抗性基因分布和扩散的影响因素,如:抗生素残留水平,土壤理化性质和环境条件等。在此基础上,探讨了土壤抗性基因阻隔和消减技术,包括传统降解方法:高温,光照催化、微波-H2O2-微生物联合处理技术等,并提出新型消解技术:取代活性基团、靶位修饰以及改变外排泵的通透性等。讨论未来在控制抗性基因生态风险,降低其在土壤中的丰度,有效阻截技术的发展趋势。     

畜禽粪污中残留抗生素降解方法进展

畜禽养殖业的迅速发展和疾病的日益复杂导致了兽用抗生素的广泛使用,但大部分抗生素不能被机体完全吸收,最终以原形或者代谢产物形式由粪尿排出,导致了畜禽粪便中大量残留抗生素。残留抗生素多途径进入土壤、水体,由此引起的潜在生态风险及抗性基因传播备受关注。本文总结了抗生素残留的降解方法:堆肥、厌氧消化、高级氧化、植物修复等,并对各种降解方法中的影响因素进行了阐述,以期为畜禽粪污的无害化处理和资源化利用提供参考。     

畜禽养殖废物中抗生素和重金属抗性基因的产生机制和控制方法研究进展

动物饲料中常混有抗生素和重金属,导致外排的动物粪便中携带有抗生素和重金属,引发细菌产生耐药性和重金属抗性,继而产生抗生素抗性基因和重金属抗性基因。抗生素和重金属抗性基因污染已成为威胁人类身体健康及破坏生态环境的重大问题。本文从细菌进化的角度,明确了细菌的抗生素和重金属长期进化试验对抗性机制研究的重要性;抗生素抗性基因与重金属抗性基因间存在复杂的协同选择抗性,两者间相互影响,共同决定着细菌环境行为;抗性基因的水平转移增加了细菌在环境中的可变性,可移动遗传元件在抗性基因水平转移中发挥着重要作用。在抗性基因污染控制方面,高级氧化技术具有很好的抗性基因去除效果,尤其是UV/TiO₂氧化技术,能使抗生素抗性基因丰度减少4.7～5.8 log,减少率大于99.99%。其他的控制策略,如抗生素替代品博落回提取物以及噬菌体与抗生素结合使用,对于抗性基因的控制也具有重要意义。

畜禽微生物耐药组研究进展

目前,绝大部分抗生素用于给人类提供肉奶蛋等食品的畜禽,由此产生的抗生素耐药性对全球公众健康造成了巨大威胁。为了降低畜禽生产环节抗生素耐药性向人类的传播,首先需要明确畜禽消化道或产品微生物携带哪些耐药基因。耐药组指的是某个环境微生物群落全部耐药基因的总和,近年来对于畜禽生产过程中耐药组分析成为研究热点之一。本文综述了基于测序技术研究畜禽(猪、鸡、反刍动物)消化道以及乳中微生物耐药组组成及其影响因素的最新进展,并提出了未来研究方向,包括耐药组研究方法的标准化、基于宏转录组的耐药组基因表达研究,以及可移动遗传元件所携带的耐药基因等,旨在为调控畜禽养殖过程中耐药基因提供思路。     

Removal of intl1 and associated antibiotics resistant genes in water,sewage sludge and livestock manure treatments

Antibiotics resistant genes (ARGs) are frequently detected in different media, such as wastewater, sewage sludge, and livestock manure. ARGs have been evidenced to have more and more threats to our environment because of their increase in species and total abundances causing more attention especially in horizontal gene transfer (HGT). The integron, an important form of mobile gene elements transfer ARGs through HGT, is demonstrated to have a high risk to human beings, and the class 1 integron (intl1), a predominant integron, is a marker of the process of horizontal gene transfer. Tetracycline, sulfonamides, macrolide, beta-lactam, trimethoprim, and quinolone plasmid-mediated resistance genes, which are frequently detected in various media and different treatment processes, have been reported to have significant correlations with intl1. Considering the risk of ARGs, especially those associated with intl1, the removal of intl1 and associated ARGs from water, sludge and livestock manure has attracted much more attention recently. Therefore, the mechanism and removal of intl1 and associated ARGs in water depth treatment, sludge and livestock manure digestion and composting process are reviewed in this paper. Besides, the limitation of the current study in this field is discussed, and the key points in the future investigation are provided.

Shifts in microbial community,pathogenicity-related genes and antibiotic resistance genes during dairy manure piled up

The uncomposted faeces of dairy cow are usually stacked on cow breeding farms, dried under natural conditions and then used as cow bedding material or they may be continuously piled up. However, no information is available to evaluate variations in the human and animal pathogen genes and antibiotic resistance during the accumulation of fresh faeces of dairy cow to manure. Here, we present the metagenomic analysis of fresh faeces and manure from a dairy farm in Ning Xia, showing a unique enrichment of human and animal pathogen genes and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in manure. We found that manure accumulation could significantly increase the diversity and abundance of the pathogenic constituents. Furthermore, pathogens from manure could spread to the plant environment and enphytotic pathogens could affect the yield and quality of crops during the use of manure as a fertilizer. Levels of virulence genes and ARGs increased with the enrichment of microbes and pathogens when faeces accumulated to manure. Accumulated manure was also the transfer station of ARGs to enrich the ARGs in the environment, indicating the ubiquitous presence of environmental antibiotic resistance genes. Our results demonstrate that manure accumulation and usage without effective manure management is an unreasonable approach that could enrich pathogenic microorganisms and ARGs in the environment. The manure metagenome structure allows us to appreciate the overall influence and interaction of animal waste on water, soil and other areas impacted by faecal accumulation and the factors that influence pathogen occurrence in products from dairy cows.     

Veterinary antibiotics in the aquatic and terrestrial environment

The fate of antibiotics in the environment, and especially antibiotics used in animal husbandry, is subject to recent studies and the issue of this review. The assumed quantity of antibiotics excreted by animal husbandry adds up to thousands of tonnes per year. Administered medicines, their metabolites or degradation products reach the terrestrial and aquatic environment by the application of manure or slurry to areas used agriculturally, or by pasture-reared animals excreting directly on the land, followed by surface run-off, driftage or leaching in deeper layers of the earth. The scientific interest in antimicrobially active compounds in manure and soil, but also in surface and ground water, has increased during the last decade. On the one side, scientific interest has focused on the behaviour of antibiotics and their fate in the environment, on the other hand, their impact on environmental and other bacteria has become an issue of research. Analytical methods have now been developed appropriately and studies using these new techniques provide accurate data on concentrations of antimicrobial compounds and their residues in different organic matters. Some antibiotics seem to persist a long time in the environment, especially in soil, while others degrade very fast. Not only the fate of these pharmaceuticals but their origin as well is an object of scientific interest. Besides human input via wastewater and other effluents, livestock production has been recognised as a source of contamination. One main concern with regard to the excessive use of antibiotics in livestock production is the potential promotion of resistance and the resulting disadvantages in the therapeutic use of antimicrobials. Since the beginning of antibiotic therapy, more and more resistant bacterial strains have been isolated from environmental sources showing one or multiple resistance. There have been several attempts to use antibiotic resistance patterns in different bacteria as indicators for various sources of faecal pollution. This review gives an overview of the available data on the present use of veterinary antibiotics in agriculture, on the occurrence of antibiotic compounds and resistant bacteria in soil and water and demonstrates the need for further studies.     

Reduction of the resistome risk from cow slurry and manure microbiomes to soil and vegetable microbiomes

In cow farms, the interaction between animal and environmental microbiomes creates hotspots for antibiotic resistance dissemination. A shotgun metagenomic approach was used to survey the resistome risk in five dairy cow farms. To this purpose, 10 environmental compartments were sampled: 3 of them linked to productive cows (fresh slurry, stored slurry, slurry-amended pasture soil); 6 of them to non-productive heifers and dry cows (faeces, fresh manure, aged manure, aged manure-amended orchard soil, vegetables-lettuces and grazed soil); and, finally, unamended control soil. The resistome risk was assessed using MetaCompare, a computational pipeline which scores the resistome risk according to possible links between antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), mobile genetic elements (MGEs) and human pathogens. The resistome risk decreased from slurry and manure microbiomes to soil and vegetable microbiomes. In total (sum of all the compartments), 18,157 ARGs were detected: 24% related to ansamycins, 21% to multidrugs, 14% to aminoglycosides, 12% to tetracyclines, 9% to β-lactams, and 9% to macrolide–lincosamide–streptogramin B. All but two of the MGE-associated ARGs were only found in the animal dejections (not in soil or vegetable samples). Several ARGs with potential as resistome risk markers (based on their presence in hubs of co-occurrence networks and high dissemination potential) were identified. As a precautionary principle, improved management of livestock dejections is necessary to minimize the risk of antibiotic resistance.     

Characterization of a mobile and multiple resistance plasmid isolated from swine manure and its detection in soil after manure application

Aims: To isolate and characterize multiple antibiotic resistance plasmids found in swine manure and test for plasmid‐associated genetic markers in soil following manure application to an agricultural field. Methods and Results: Plasmids were isolated from an erythromycin enrichment culture that used liquid swine manure as an inoculant. Plasmids were transformed into Escherichia coli DH10β for subsequent characterization. We isolated and DNA sequenced a 22 102‐bp plasmid (pMC2) that confers macrolide, and tetracycline resistances, and carries genes predicted to code for mercury and chromium resistance. Conjugation experiments using an pRP4 derivative as a helper plasmid confirm that pMC2 has a functional mobilization unit. PCR was used to detect genetic elements found on pMC2 in DNA extracted from manure amended soil. Conclusions: The pMC2 plasmid has a tetracycline‐resistant core and has acquired additional resistance genes by insertion of an accessory region (12 762 bp) containing macrolide, mercury and chromium resistance genes, which was inserted between the truncated DDE motifs within the Tn903/IS102 mobile element. Significance and Impact of the Study: Liquid swine manure used for manure spreading contains multiple antibiotic resistance plasmids that can be detected in soil following manure application.
