Article Synopsis
- Antibiotic resistance is a global health issue linked to higher mortality, with genes being transferable between humans, animals, and the environment, particularly in aquatic settings.
- The study examined water and wastewater samples for antibiotic resistance genes using culture techniques, real-time PCR, and gene sequencing, finding several ESBL-producing bacteria and carbapenem-resistant genes.
- Results highlighted the presence of antibiotic-resistant strains in Marseille's water, emphasizing the need for ongoing surveillance to understand and control the spread of these bacteria in relation to human health.
The monitoring of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in sewage has been proposed as a simple and unbiased means of assessing epidemic evolution and the efficiency of the COVID-19 control measures. The past year has been marked by the emergence of variants that have led to a succession of epidemic waves. It thus appears that monitoring the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater alone is insufficient, and it may be important in the future to also monitor the evolution of these variants.
