Wastewater and colloidal extracts of wastewater-irrigated soils select for resistant Acinetobacter baylyi beyond what measured antibiotic concentrations predict

Katharina Axtmann, Christina Paffenholz, Alina Auerhammer, Ana-Karen Michel-Farias, Benjamin Justus Heyde, Lena Marie Coppers, Melanie Braun, Arne Kappenberg, Ines Mulder, Susanne Brüggen, Christina Siebe, Wulf Amelung, Jan Siemens, Gabriele Bierbaum

The paper shows that wastewater and colloidal soil extracts select for antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baylyi despite low antibiotic concentrations, suggesting complex contaminant mixtures drive resistance.

Reduced antibiotic effect of ciprofloxacin on bacteria in the presence of montmorillonite

Katharina Axtmann, Benjamin Justus Heyde, Silas Brinkmann, Annette Siskowski, H.A. Faerber, Lena Marie Juraschek, Melanie Braun, Jan Siemens, Gabriele Bierbaum

This study shows that montmorillonite reduces but does not eliminate ciprofloxacin's growth-inhibitory effect on bacteria in soil environments.

Antimicrobial resistant bacteria in wastewater-irrigated Mexican soils and transfer of resistant bacteria from irrigated soils to cilantro plants

Dipen Pulami, Deeksha Bhati, Sara Gallego, Kornelia Smalla, Kathia Lüneberg, Christina Siebe, Benjamin Justus Heyde, Jan Siemens, Stefanie P. Glaeser

This study evaluates the impact of wastewater treatment on antimicrobial resistant bacteria in soils and their transfer to cilantro plants in Mexico, finding that treatment does not reduce resistant bacteria abundance.
