“…These can affect indigenous microbial populations by disrupting the natural balance of that environment, and may even increase the resistance of certain species of bacteria to these antibiotics. This could be a serious risk to human health because it is known that the most antibiotic resistant bacteria come from the natural environment [4].…”

New photocatalytic membranes based on polylactic acid (PLA)/TiO2 hybrid nanofibers deposited on fiberglass supports were prepared and tested for the removal of ampicillin from aqueous solutions. The electrospinning technique was used to obtain hybrid nanofibers that were deposited on three types of fiberglass with different structures, resulting in three distinct photocatalytic membranes namely fiberglass fabric plain woven-type membrane, fiberglass mat-type membrane, and fiberglass fabric one-fold edge-type membrane. The results of the photocatalytic tests showed that the highest efficiency of ampicillin removal from aqueous solution is obtained with the fiberglass fabric plain woven-type membrane. Although it has been shown that the rate of photocatalytic degradation of ampicillin is high, being practically eliminated within the first 30 min of photocatalysis, the degree of mineralization of the aqueous solution is low even after two hours of photocatalysis due to the degradation of PLA from the photocatalytic membrane. The instability of PLA in the reactive environment of the photocatalytic reactor, evidenced by morphological, mineralogical and spectroscopic analyzes as well as by kinetic studies, is closely related to the structure of the fiberglass membrane used as a support for PLA/TiO2 hybrid nanofibers.

“…However, recent reports of the discovery of antibiotic resistance among animals in geographically remote locations where commercial antibiotics have not been applied may help to explain our findings [ 40 ]. The practice of free-range farming, allowing birds to roam freely, may result in their exposure to natural environmental hazards, such as untreated water and soil, which have been well documented to harbor drug-resistant foodborne pathogens [ 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ]. Recent reports suggest that wild birds and gulls, creatures not exposed to the selective pressure of antibiotic use, have also been found to harbor MDR organisms in light of their continuous exposure to the natural environment [ 45 , 46 , 47 , 48 ].…”

Antibiogram Profiles and Risk Factors for Multidrug Resistance of Salmonella enterica Recovered from Village Chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus Linnaeus) and Other Environmental Sources in the Central and Southern Peninsular Malaysia

The emergence of multidrug resistance (MDR), including colistin resistance, among Enterobacteriaceae recovered from food animals poses a serious public health threat because of the potential transmission of these resistant variants to humans along the food chain. Village chickens or Ayam Kampung are free-range birds and are preferred by a growing number of consumers who consider these chickens to be organic and more wholesome. The current study investigates the antibiogram profiles of Salmonella isolates recovered from village chicken flocks in South-central Peninsular Malaysia. A total of 34 isolates belonging to eight serotypes isolated from village chickens were screened for resistance towards antimicrobials including colistin according to the WHO and OIE recommendations of critical antibiotics. S. Weltevreden accounted for 20.6% of total isolates, followed by serovars Typhimurium and Agona (17.6%). The majority of isolates (73.5%) demonstrated resistance to one or more antimicrobials. Eight isolates (23.5%) were resistant to ≥3 antimicrobial classes. Colistin resistance (minimum inhibitory concentrations: 4–16 mg/L) was detected among five isolates (14.7%), including S. Weltevreden, S. Albany, S. Typhimurium, and Salmonella spp. Univariable analysis of risk factors likely to influence the occurrence of MDR Salmonella revealed that the flock size, poultry production system, and use of antibiotics in the farm were not significantly (p > 0.05) associated with MDR Salmonella. The current study highlights that MDR Salmonella occur at a lower level in village chickens compared to that found in live commercial chickens. However, MDR remains a problem even among free-range chickens with minimal exposure to antibiotics.

“…Resistant genes can move between pathogenic and nonpathogenic microorganisms [33,72], and either could be considered useful for monitoring AMR in ambient waters. For example, Aeromonas spp., which can be pathogenic and indigenous, may play a role in disseminating ARGs because they (1) naturally produce three β-lactamases; (2) contain mobile genetic elements that can be transferred to other human pathogens [73]; and (3) have been detected in surface waters [74][75][76][77]. Berendonk et al [75] propose the use of Aeromonas spp.…”

“…Point and nonpoint sources contribute to the presence and proliferation of AMR bacteria and ARGs in surface waters [9,[34][35][36]. Figure 1 shows the known sources of resistance contaminants and how they could potentially contribute to recreational water exposures to AMR bacteria and ARGs [34,36,73,82]. Feasible pathways of movement for AMR bacteria and ARGs vary for the different potential sources, depending on factors including, but not limited to, local regulations and industrial practices.…”

Ambient recreational waters can act as both recipients and natural reservoirs for antimicrobial resistant (AMR) bacteria and antimicrobial resistant genes (ARGs), where they may persist and replicate. Contact with AMR bacteria and ARGs potentially puts recreators at risk, which can thus decrease their ability to fight infections. A variety of point and nonpoint sources, including contaminated wastewater effluents, runoff from animal feeding operations, and sewer overflow events, can contribute to environmental loading of AMR bacteria and ARGs. The overall goal of this article is to provide the state of the science related to recreational exposure and AMR, which has been an area of increasing interest. Specific objectives of the review include (1) a description of potential sources of antibiotics, AMR bacteria, and ARGs in recreational waters, as documented in the available literature; (2) a discussion of what is known about human recreational exposures to AMR bacteria and ARGs, using findings from health studies and exposure assessments; and (3) identification of knowledge gaps and future research needs. To better understand the dynamics related to AMR and associated recreational water risks, future research should focus on source contribution, fate and transport—across treatment and in the environment; human health risk assessment; and standardized methods.
