Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are hot spots for the acquisition and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This regional-based study quantified antibiotic genes (ARGs), mobile genetic elements (MGEs), bacteria in hospital community-derived wastewater receiving environments, using high-throughput qPCR (HT-qPCR). is first to apply Resistomap's Antibiotic Resistance Gene Index (ARGI) find overall ARG load AMR risk assessment. ARGI WWTPs ranged from 2.0 2.3, indicating higher relative levels than mean European 2.0, but lower global 2.4. The highest diversity abundance ARGs were observed untreated community wastewater. reduction total during (0.2- 2 logs) (0.3-1.5 varied spatio-temporally across WWTPs. Despite a decrease bacterial treated effluents, substantial loads still released into environments. Notably, coastal sediments comparable those wastewater, most shared between highlighting impact discharge on these ecosystems. Sewage outfall exposure increased shellfish, emphasising risks shellfish hygiene. provides evidence inform policymaking, advanced methods combined storm overflow (CSO) management mitigate release, protecting water users food chain.
