Abstract

Heavy metal pollution can enhance the level of antibiotic resistance, posing concerns to ecosystem and public health. Here, we investigated heavy metal concentrations, heavy metal resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistant bacteria and their corresponding resistant genes, and integrons in four different river environments, i.e., low heavy metals and low wastewater, high heavy metals and low wastewater, low heavy metals and high wastewater, and high heavy metals and high wastewater levels. Heavy metals were found to show positive and significant correlations with heavy metal resistance and antibiotic resistance and integrons (r > 0.60, p 0.60, p 0.60, p < 0.05), indicating a higher occurrence of antibiotic resistance co-selection in the heavy metal-polluted environments.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
