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
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

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
