    Oral presentation

    Membrane bioreactors (MBRs) effectively remove bacteria during wastewater treatment. Less is known about removal of extracellular DNA, including ARG-carrying plasmids, which are far smaller. If released into the environment, such plasmids can persist for months and be taken up by bacteria via transformation. During MBR operation, biofilm forms on membranes and may act as an additional barrier...

    Oral presentation

    Environmental contamination links antimicrobial resistance (AMR) across human, animal, and environmental compartments, but how wastewater source and infrastructure shape resistomes remains unclear. We used metagenomics to compare communities and resistomes in municipal wastewater in Germany and municipal, hospital, and slaughterhouse wastewaters in Nigeria. Bacterial communities showed limited...

    Oral presentation

    Abstract. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and heavy metal tolerance in aquatic and wildlife-associated bacteria are interconnected One Health challenges, yet harmonized cross-border data remain scarce.
    BALTIC-AMR addresses this gap through standardized longitudinal surveillance across Germany, Sweden, Estonia, and Poland, integrating surface-water and wild-bird sampling with...

    Oral presentation

    Campylobacter is a major foodborne pathogen. We investigated multidrug resistance (MDR) in clinical isolates from Germany (2010–2022) within the national surveillance program. A total of 6,950 single-colony isolates were phenotypically tested; 2,912 were genome sequenced and screened for antimicrobial resistance genes. MDR cultures were further analyzed for contaminating DNA and by scanning...
