Metal-containing landfills as a source of antibiotic tolerance

To unveil the potential effect of metal presence to antibiotic tolerance proliferation, four sites of surface landfills containing tailings from metal processing in Slovakia (Hnúšťa, Hodruša, Košice) and Poland (Tarnowskie Góry) were investigated. Tolerance and multitolerance to selected metals (Cu,...

Description
Summary:To unveil the potential effect of metal presence to antibiotic tolerance proliferation, four sites of surface landfills containing tailings from metal processing in Slovakia (Hnúšťa, Hodruša, Košice) and Poland (Tarnowskie Góry) were investigated. Tolerance and multitolerance to selected metals (Cu, Ni, Pb, Fe, Zn, Cd) and antibiotics (ampicillin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol, and kanamycin) and interrelationships between them were evaluated. A low bacterial diversity (Shannon–Wiener index from 0.83 to 2.263) was detected in all sampling sites. Gram-positive bacteria, mostly belonging to the phylum Actinobacteria, dominated in three of the four sampling sites. The recorded percentages of tolerant bacterial isolates varied considerably for antibiotics and metals from 0 to 57% and 0.8 to 47%, respectively, among the sampling sites. Tolerances to chloramphenicol (45–57%) and kanamycin (32–45%) were found in three sites. Multitolerance to several metals and antibiotics in the range of 24 to 48% was recorded for three sites. A significant positive correlation ( p
