Article Synopsis
- Opportunistic pathogens (OPs) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in drinking water are a significant health concern, with recent studies highlighting the impact of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) on their spread.
- PFOA concentration in pipeline effluents significantly increased over six months, while also promoting the growth of specific bacteria (Hyphomicrobium, Microbacterium, and Bradyrhizobium) and influencing metabolic processes that led to more protective extracellular polymeric substances (EPS).
- The accumulation of PFOA also enhanced the transfer of various ARGs and linked the bacterial community's composition with the presence of OPs and ARGs, suggesting a relationship that raises
