요약Release of heavy metals, biocides, pharmaceuticals, and other wastes into the aquatic environment can significantly influence abundance of environmental antimicrobial resistance genes (ARGs). We investigated the influence of a suite of 29 heavy metals, physical and chemical parameters of surface water systems (pH, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity), and sources of contamination (point and non-point) as potential drivers of environmental abundance estimates of 20 detected categories of ARGs comprising 240 ARGs as fragments per mL water (F/mL) collected from surface water samples from two distinct watersheds - rural Rock River watershed and urban Blue River watershed. Results from in-depth statistical analyses using exploratory descriptive analysis, spatial autoregressive model (SAR), and mediation analysis showed significant hierarchical clusters and canonical correlations indicating shared sources and physical and biological processes linking heavy metals and ARGs occurrence in these disparate watersheds. Spatial regression results highlight an association between several Gramnegative bacterial resistance genes and multiple metals (THg, Zn, Ni, and Cu) in the rural Rock River and urban Blue River watersheds. Increase in pH was found to have a significant association with ARGs abundance in both watersheds. Significant and substantial risk of observing increased levels of ARGs was found for sites in close proximity to wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and at sites progressively more downstream from the top of the watersheds. Mediation analysis on the SAR model in the urban watershed showed Zn and Ni have a potential to be a mediator in the relationship between the sources of contamination and observed ARGs abundance. Overall, this study contributes to monitoring efforts of the Rock River and Blue River watersheds for Gram-negative bacterial resistant genes. It supports the idea of heavy metals can potentially co-select for antibiotic resistance and physical and chemical parameters like pH and different sources of contamination are drivers for the co-occurrence of metals and antibiotic resistance.
