抗生素抗性基因在大气环境中的研究进展

Research Progress of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Atmospheric Environment

抗生素抗性基因(ARGs)作为一种新的环境污染物,受到了广泛的关注,目前关于大气中ARGs的研究很少。大气环境是ARGs的潜在储存库,空气传播是抗生素抗性细菌引起重要疾病的主要途径。文章在查阅大量国内外文献的基础上,系统综述了大气环境中ARGs的污染现状、潜在传播途径及其机制和相关的检测方法,并指出了当前形势下我国开展对大气中ARGs研究的必要性和重要性,为相关机构开展气溶胶中ARGs研究提出几点建议。

Antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs)have received widespread attention as an emerging environmental pollutant,and there are few studies on ARGs in the atmosphere.The atmospheric environment is a potential reservoir of ARGs,and diseases by antibiotic-resistant bacteria are mainly from airborne transmission.Based on a review of a large amount of domestic and international literature,the paper systematically elaborates the current status of contamination of ARGs in the atmospheric environment,potential route of transmission and their mechanisms and relevant detection methods,and points out the necessity and importance of conducting research on ARGs in the atmosphere in China under the current situation,and puts forward several suggestions for relevant institutions to carry out research on ARGs in aerosols.
