Hospitals play an important role in the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and antimicrobial (AMR). The ARGs present hospital wastewater tend to accumulate activated sludge, with different exhibiting varying migration rates. As a result, sludge water produced during treatment process may be significant source entering environment. Despite this, research into behavior concentration dewatering remains limited. This study hypothesizes that might exhibit new behaviors concentration. Using metagenomic analysis, we explored distribution risks human pathogenic bacteria (HPB) water, comparing them those wastewater. findings reveal strong correlation between wastewater, subtypes such as arlR , efpA tetR showing higher abundance water. Although horizontal gene transfer potential is greater than mechanisms pathways are similar even when their HPB host associations differ. both environments primarily transmitted through coexisting mobile genetic elements (MGEs). suggests serves critical route for release hospital-derived environment, posing threats public health ecological safety.

House dust serves as a reservoir of diverse array microbial life and anthropogenic chemicals, both which can potentially influence the health occupants, particularly those who spend significant amounts time at home. However, effects chemicals on microbiomes remain poorly understood. This study investigated presence in homes occupied by elderly occupants explored chemicals' relationships with microbiomes. We detected 69 out 76 analyzed including endocrine-disrupting non-antibiotic pharmaceuticals, antibiotics, least one house sample from 32 residential homes, concentrations ranging 2720 to 89,300 ng/g. Some these compounds were pharmaceuticals regularly consumed occupants. The associated varying levels forming two distinct clusters, each unique diversity, taxonomy, metabolic functions, resistome profiles. Higher greater variety an increased co-occurrence antibiotic resistance virulence genes, well enhanced potential for their transfer through mobile genetic elements. Under conditions, phages, especially phage-plasmids, facilitated dissemination among bacterial populations. findings indicate that everyday are important factors microbes indoor environments. underscores importance improving household chemical stewardship reduce risks exposure Video Abstract.
