Microplastics enhance the prevalence of antibiotic resistance genes in mariculture sediments by enriching host bacteria and promoting horizontal gene transfer

Eco-Environment & Health, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 100136 - 100136

Microplastics (MPs) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) pose significant challenges to the One Health framework due their intricate multifaceted ecological environmental impacts. However, understanding of how MP properties influence ARG prevalence in mariculture sediments remains limited. Herein, polystyrene (PS) polyvinyl chloride (PVC) MPs with different sizes (20-120 μm 0.5-2.0 mm) were selected evaluate impacts underlying mechanisms driving ARGs dissemination. The results showed that PS PVC increased relative abundance by 1.41-2.50-fold 2.01-2.84-fold, respectively, compared control, particularly high-risk genes. polymer type effect was identified as more influential than size sediment resistome evolution. shifted microbial community assembly from stochastic deterministic processes, thus enriching host pathogens. Furthermore, highly hydrophobic not only recruited bacteria colonization but also facilitated exchange within plastisphere. exogenous additives released (e.g., heavy metals, bisphenol A, tridecyl ester) particles synergistically promoted conjugative transfer inducing oxidative stress enhancing cell membrane permeability. These findings revealed characteristics spread marine benthic ecosystems, underscoring importance mitigating pollution maintain ecosystem health, prevent zoonotic diseases, balance global health.

Plastics pollution exacerbates the impacts of all planetary boundaries

One Earth, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Nov. 1, 2024

SummaryPlastics are an international governance priority because of extensive and resource-intensive production, uncontrolled environmental releases, failure to control the chemicals within materials. We examine evidence that plastics have exceeded planetary safe operating space, discussing how pollution affects multiple Earth system processes along impact pathway from resource extraction production release fate impacts. Multiple lines capture complex reality these novel entities; a single boundary quantification would be detrimental. demonstrate causal links between other problems, exacerbating consequences breaching boundaries. propose biophysically defined variables for boundaries framework as way measure, monitor, mitigate global pollution. call urgent action, recognizing not only waste management problem but integrative part climate change, biodiversity, natural-resource-use policy.
