  31. Whataboutantibioticresistance genes (ARGs)? • ARGs can bestudiedthroughfunctional metagenomic screening. In brief: • - Build a metagenomic library (small DNA inserts) • Surrogate host sensitivetoantibiotics • Screen in differentantibioticselective media • DNA fragmentscontainingARGsallow host togrow

  32. Whataboutantibioticresistance genes (ARGs)? • Overviewoffunctionalmetagenomic screening: • Is a novel methodologicalapproach • Allowto capture novel ARGs (no limitationsequenceknowledge) • Culture independent, isolateARGsfromany bacteria* • *greatplatecountanomaly > 99% environmental bacteria unculturable • - Implemented in ourlaboratorythroughthisproject

Genomiclandscape: macrolides Mef: macrolideeffluxpumps Mph: macrolidephosphotransferases (inactivating genes) Msr(E): ABC-F type ribosomal protection protein Genes msr(E)-mph(E) or mef(C)-mph(G) were found in libraries of effluent and receiving river sediment, indicates that industrial effluent is a point source of these gene clusters Some macrolide resistant carried additional genes, such as sul2 (sulfonamide resistance). Co-resistance event due to selection pressure

  45. Genomiclandscape: Sulfonamides Sulfonamide resistance (sul1) aminoglycoside resistance (aac) Dihydrofolate reductase Acetylation of aminoglycosides by acetyltransferases is one of the major mechanisms of acquired resistance to these compounds IntI: - allow capture and expression of exogenous genes, recombined using the integrase activity - acquisition and expression of genes with minimal disturbance to the existing genome

  46. Total of 82 unique, often clinically relevant ARGs, frequent in clusters, flanked by mobile genetic elements Novel and diverse ARGs in antibiotic-polluted industrial effluents and sediments: Veterinary antibiotics, 66novel ARGs: -dihydrofolatereductases and beta-lactamases (classes A, B, and D) -novel ARGs in upstream sediment (thymidylatesynthases, dihydrofolatereductases, class D beta-lactamase) • Novel macrolide resistance genes (16): • one most similar to a 23S rRNA methyltransferase from Clostridium • gene from upstream unpolluted sediment, similar to a GTPase HflX from Emergenciatimonensis Macrolide resistance genes identified from matrices exposed to high levels of macrolides were similar to known genes encoding ribosomal protection proteins, macrolidephosphotransferases, and transporters
