石化废水处理厂中耐药菌和耐药基因的分布特征与去除效能解析

抗生素耐药性污染已成为全球新兴环境问题之一.本研究选取某座石化废水处理厂，对耐药菌（ARB）和3种形态耐药基因（ARGs）：细胞内耐药基因（iARGs）、细胞外附着态耐药基因（aeARGs）和游离态耐药基因（feARGs）的分布特征与去除效能开展研究.结果表明，废水处理厂中检出四环素、磺胺和氨苄西林这3类ARB，其绝对浓度为8.45×10²~2.38×10⁵ CFU·mL^-1.厌氧处理可使这3类ARB绝对浓度下降0.04 lg~0.21 lg；曝气和沉淀处理对ARB的影响因其类型而异；出水ARB绝对浓度高出进水水平0.12 lg~0.63 lg.活性污泥中aeARGs和iARGs绝对丰度分别为1.96×10⁷~3.02×10¹⁰ copies·g^-1和5.22×10⁷~4.15×10¹⁰ copies·g^-1；而废水中feARGs绝对丰度为5.90×10⁸~1.01×10¹² copies·L^-1.厌氧处理可去除0.13 lg~0.65 lg aeARGs和0.04 lg~0.28 lg iARGs；曝气和沉淀处理对aeARGs和iARGs的去除效果受ARGs类型和形态影响；出水中feARGs绝对丰度较进水升高0.06 lg~0.81 lg.冗余分析表明，ARB浓度与COD、Cl^-和总氮浓度显著正相关（P<0.05）；aeARGs丰度与COD和总氮浓度显著正相关（P<0.05）；iARGs和feARGs丰度均与重金属浓度显著正相关（P<0.05）.本研究证实了石化废水处理厂具有ARB和不同形态ARGs的富集风险，并为特种工业废水耐药性污染研究与防治提供理论基础.

Distribution and Removal of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria and Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Petrochemical Wastewater Treatment Plants

A petrochemical wastewater treatment plant (PWWTP) was selected to investigate the distribution and removal of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and three forms of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), namely intracellular ARGs (iARGs), adsorbed-extracellular ARGs (aeARGs), and free extracellular ARGs (feARGs). Tetracycline, sulfanilamide, and ampicillin ARB were detected with the total absolute concentration of 8.45×10²-2.38×10⁵ CFU·mL^-1; the absolute concentrations of three types of ARB decreased by 0.04 lg-0.21 lg through anaerobic treatment. The effect of aeration and precipitation treatment on ARB varies with its type, and the absolute concentration of ARB in effluent was 0.12 lg-0.63 lg higher than that in influent. The absolute abundance of aeARGs and iARGs in activated sludge was 1.96×10⁷-3.02×10¹⁰ copies·g^-1 and 5.22×10⁷-4.15×10¹⁰ copies·g^-1, respectively; the absolute abundance of feARGs in wastewater was 5.90×10⁸-1.01×10¹² copies·L^-1. Anaerobic treatment can remove 0.13 lg-0.65 lg aeARGs and 0.04 lg-0.28 lg iARGs, while the removal efficiency of aeARGs and iARGs by aeration and precipitation process was affected by ARGs types and forms. The absolute abundance of feARGs in effluent is 0.06 lg-0.81 lg higher than that in influent. Redundancy analysis showed that the concentration of ARB was significantly positively correlated with chemical oxygen demand (COD), Cl^-, and total nitrogen concentration (P<0.05). The abundance of aeARGs was positively correlated with COD and total nitrogen concentration (P<0.05), and both the abundance of iARGs and feARGs are positively correlated with heavy metals concentration (P<0.05). This study confirmed the enrichment risk of ARB and different forms of ARGs in PWWTPs, which provided references for the research and prevention of antibiotic resistance pollution in industrial wastewater.
