Microbiome diversity: A barrier to the environmental spread of antimicrobial resistance?

U. Klümper, G. Gionchetta, E. C. Catao, X. Bellanger, I. Dielacher, P. Fang, S. Galazka, A. Goryluk-Salmonowicz, D. Kneis, U. Okoroafor, L.-E. Radu, M. Szadziul, E. Szekeres, A. Teban-Man, C. Coman, , T. U. Berendonk

The paper investigates whether microbial diversity acts as a barrier to the spread of antimicrobial resistance genes in the environment, finding that higher diversity correlates with lower ARG abundance in structured soils but not in dynamic rivers.

Exposure to environmental stress decreases the resistance of river microbial communities towards invasion by antimicrobial resistant bacteria

K. Bagra, X. Bellanger, C. Merlin, G. Singh, T. U. Berendonk, U. Klümper

This study investigates how environmental stress affects the invasion of antimicrobial resistant bacteria into river microbial communities, finding that stress enhances invasion success by reducing community diversity.

Microbiome and resistome dynamics along a sewage-effluent-reservoir continuum underline the role of natural attenuation in effluent receiving reservoirs

E. Cytryn, I. Leao, L. Khalifa, C. Merlin, N. Gallois, I. Vaz-Moreira, U. Klümper, D. Youdkes, S. Palmony, L. Dagai, T. U. Berendonk, C. Manaia

This study tracks microbiome and resistome changes along a sewage-effluent-reservoir system, showing that ecological interactions in reservoirs reduce antibiotic resistance more than physical processes in treatment reactors.
