空气中抗性基因(ARGs)的研究方法及研究进展

Research method and progress on antibiotics resistance genes(ARGs) in air

抗生素的长期滥用导致大量耐药菌的出现,并加剧抗生素抗性基因(ARGs)在不同环境介质中传播扩散,对人类和动物健康造成潜在威胁.作为一种新型污染物,ARGs已经成为近年来环境研究领域的热点之一.然而目前多数研究关注的是水、土壤和沉积物中的ARGs,国内外对空气中ARGs的研究相对较少且零散.本文综述了空气中ARGs的国内外研究现状,并探讨了空气中ARGs样品的采集和检测方法,旨在为空气中ARGs的研究提供科学依据和技术策略.

The long-term overuse of antibiotics lead to the emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria and accelerate the transport and the spread of antibiotic resistance genes （ ARGs ） in different environmental matrix, which poses potential health risks to humans and animals. As a new category of environmental contaminants, ARGs have been one of the hot topics in the area of environmental research in recent years. Most research, however, focuses on AGRs in water, soil and sediment. There have been only a few studies on ARGs in air. This paper summarizes the research progress of ARGs in air and discusses the methods that can be used for collecting and detecting ARGs samples in air. The aim of this paper is to provide the scientific basis and technical strategies to support the development of studies on ARGs in air.
