Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the genomic characteristics of different serotypes of bacterial isolates (Agona, Braenderup, Muenchen, and Panama) found in surface waters of Chile, Mexico, and Brazil over three years.
  • Mexican isolates showed a higher prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes compared to those from Chile and Brazil, with specific patterns of ARG distribution across the different serotypes and countries.
  • The research highlights the intricate relationships between the isolates, including gene sharing and clustering patterns that point to surface waters as potential reservoirs for multidrug-resistant bacteria, underscoring the need for ongoing monitoring and research.

Surface water ecosystems are intimately intertwined with anthropogenic activities and have significant public health implications as primary sources of irrigation water in agricultural production. Our extensive metagenomic analysis examined 404 surface water samples from four different geological regions in Chile and Brazil, spanning irrigation canals (n = 135), rivers (n = 121), creeks (n = 74), reservoirs (n = 66), and ponds (n = 8). Overall, 50.

This study examined the diversity and persistence of in the surface waters of agricultural regions of Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. Research groups (three in 2019-2020 and five in 2021-2022) conducted a long-term survey of surface water across 5-8 months annually ( = 30 monthly). On-site, each team filtered 10-L water samples with modified Moore Swabs to capture which were then isolated and identified using conventional microbiological techniques.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a world-wide public health threat that is projected to lead to 10 million annual deaths globally by 2050. The AMR public health issue has led to the development of action plans to combat AMR, including improved antimicrobial stewardship, development of new antimicrobials, and advanced monitoring. The National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) led by the United States (U.
