Fertilizing drug resistance: Dissemination of antibiotic resistance genes in soil and plant bacteria under bovine and swine slurry fertilization. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Global food demands are increasing the use of organic fertilizers like manure, but this raises concerns about spreading antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in soil and food.
  • The study focuses on how applying swine and bovine slurry affects ARGs in cherry radish microbiomes, analyzing various samples over a 45-day period for 21 ARGs.
  • Findings reveal that swine slurry has a higher prevalence of ARGs, particularly tetracyclines, in soil and plant bacteria, posing health risks due to the presence of these genes in edible plant parts.

Article Abstract

The increasing global demand for food production emphasizes the use of organic animal fertilizers, such as manure and slurry, to support sustainable agricultural practices. However, recent studies highlight concerns about antibiotic resistance determinants in animal excrements, posing a potential risk of spreading antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in agricultural soil and, consequently, in food products. This study examines the dissemination of ARGs within the soil and plant-associated microbiomes in cherry radish following the application of swine and bovine slurry. In a 45-day pot experiment, slurry-amended soil, rhizospheric bacteria, and endophytic bacteria in radish roots and leaves were sampled and analyzed for 21 ARGs belonging to 7 Antibiotic Resistance Phenotypes (ARPs). The study also assessed slurry's impact on soil microbiome functional diversity, enzymatic activity, physicochemical soil parameters, and the concentration of 22 selected antimicrobials in soil and plant tissues. Tetracyclines and β-lactams were the most frequently identified ARGs in bovine and swine slurry, aligning with similar studies worldwide. Swine slurry showed a higher prevalence of ARGs in soil and plant-associated bacteria, particularly TET genes, reflecting pig antibiotic treatments. The persistent dominance of TET genes across slurry, soil, and plant microbiomes highlights significant influence of slurry application on gene occurrence in plant bacteria. The presence of ARGs in edible plant parts underscores health risks associated with raw vegetable consumption. Time-dependent dynamics of ARG occurrence highlighted their persistent presence throughout the experiment duration, influenced by the environmental factors and antibiotic residuals. Notably, ciprofloxacin, which was the only one antimicrobial detected in fertilized soil, significantly impacted bovine-amended variants. Soil salinity modifications induced by slurry application correlated with changes in ARG occurrence. Overall, the research underscores the complex relationships between agricultural practices, microbial activity, and antibiotic resistance dissemination, emphasizing the need for a more sustainable and health-conscious farming approaches.
