Antibiotic resistome and its driving factors in an urban river in northern China.

Urban rivers dynamically interfered by anthropogenic activities are considered as a vital reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). Here, a total of 198 ARGs and 12 mobile genetic elements (MGEs) were profiled in water and sediment from the Chaobai river, Beijing. The total abundances of ARGs (1.

Comparison and prioritization of antibiotics in a reservoir and its inflow rivers of Beijing, China.

The occurrence of antibiotics in drinking water resources, like reservoirs, is of considerable concern due to their potential risks to ecosystem, human health, and antimicrobial resistance development. Here, we quantified 83 antibiotics in water and sediments of wet and dry seasons from the Miyun reservoir and its inflow rivers in Beijing, China. Twenty-four antibiotics were detected in water with concentrations of ND-11.
