Non-antibiotic conditions, including organophosphorus pesticides (OPPs), have been implicated in the horizontal gene transfer (HGT) of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) to varying degrees. While most studies focus on the toxicity of OPPs to humans and animals, their roles in ARG dissemination remain largely unexplored. In this study, we investigate the effects and involved molecular mechanisms of environmentally relevant concentrations of malathion and dimethoate, two representative OPPs, on plasmid-mediated conjugal transfer.

Malathion is an organophosphate compound widely used as an insecticide in the agriculture sector and is toxic to humans and other mammals. Although several studies have been conducted at different levels in different animal models. But there is no work has been conducted on the toxicological correlation from cellular to behavioral level in surviving species model.

This study investigated the spatiotemporal distribution of pesticides and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Danjiangkou Reservoir to assess the ecological and human health risks associated with these pollutants. Twenty-three sampling sites in the Danjiangkou Reservoir each collected 23 surface water samples and 23 sediment samples.

Organophosphate pesticides (OPs) are causing non-selective inhibition in enzymatic bioreceptors, thus the enzymatic-inhibition-based traditional assays are not suitable for their specific detection in food and environmental samples. Accordingly, a selective nanostructured electrochemical biosensing system was designed using six mutants of the esterase-2 (EST2 protein) enzymes from A. acidocaldarius to be exploited as targeting bio-receptors for the specific detection of OPs.
