- W4387167426 abstract "Urban wastewater treatment plants harbor a large collection of antibiotic resistant enteric bacteria. It is therefore reasonable to hypothesize that workers at such plants would possess a more diverse set of resistant enteric bacteria, compared to the general population. To address this hypothesis, we have compared the fecal microbiome and resistome of 87 workers at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) from Romania and the Netherlands to that of 87 control individuals, using shotgun metagenomics. Controlling for potential confounders, neither the total antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) abundance, nor the overall bacterial composition were significantly different between the two groups. If anything, the ARG richness was slightly lower in WWTP workers, and the total ARG abundance was lower in Dutch workers compared to Dutch control participants. We identified country of residence, together with recent antibiotic intake in the Dutch population, as the largest contributing factors to the total abundance of ARGs. A striking side-finding was that sex was associated with carriage of disinfectant resistance genes, with women in both Romania and the Netherlands having significantly higher abundance compared to men. A follow up investigation including an additional 313 publicly available samples from healthy individuals from three additional countries showed that the difference was significant for three genes conferring resistance to chemicals commonly used in cosmetics and cleaning products. We therefore hypothesize that the use of cosmetics and, possibly, cleaning products leads to higher abundance of disinfectant resistance genes in the microbiome of the users. Altogether, this study shows that working at a WWTP does not lead to a higher abundance or diversity of ARGs and no large shifts in the overall gut microbial composition in comparison to participants not working at a WWTP. Instead, other factors such as country of residence, recent antibiotic intake and sex, seem to play a larger role." @default.
