One of the biggest risks to human health is the growth of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Aquatic environments are crucial to maintain high levels of biodiversity and biosphere production. Antibiotic resistance develops in the aquatic environment as a result of the use of antibiotics and other drugs in aquaculture to promote fish growth, treatment of disease, and anti-fouling. Up to 80% of antibiotics given to fish are actively eliminated in their urine and feces. When water from aquaculture facilities escapes, spills, or mixes with surface waters, antibiotic-resistant bacteria can spread from aquaculture systems to natural waterways. Wastewater continues to be a significant source of AMR in the environment because it enables AMR bacteria to survive and spread antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs). It might be possible to protect water bodies against AMR contamination by wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Monitoring the environment is vital for obtaining essential data to control the rise of AMR bacteria. Coordinated environmental surveillance efforts are necessary to halt the spread of AMR. Efficient screening and monitoring of AMR bacteria in wastewater facilities, recreational spaces, and various aquatic environments are crucial for identifying potential sources of AMR and ultimately reducing its impact on human health.

摘要

One of the biggest risks to human health is the growth of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Aquatic environments are crucial to maintain high levels of biodiversity and biosphere production. Antibiotic resistance develops in the aquatic environment as a result of the use of antibiotics and other drugs in aquaculture to promote fish growth, treatment of disease, and anti-fouling. Up to 80% of antibiotics given to fish are actively eliminated in their urine and feces. When water from aquaculture facilities escapes, spills, or mixes with surface waters, antibiotic-resistant bacteria can spread from aquaculture systems to natural waterways. Wastewater continues to be a significant source of AMR in the environment because it enables AMR bacteria to survive and spread antibiotic-resistant genes (ARGs). It might be possible to protect water bodies against AMR contamination by wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Monitoring the environment is vital for obtaining essential data to control the rise of AMR bacteria. Coordinated environmental surveillance efforts are necessary to halt the spread of AMR. Efficient screening and monitoring of AMR bacteria in wastewater facilities, recreational spaces, and various aquatic environments are crucial for identifying potential sources of AMR and ultimately reducing its impact on human health.
