摘要:

场地土壤中存在多种环境污染物, 严重威胁城市土壤和地下水安全. 而深层土壤中的新型污染物研究较少, 例如抗生素和抗生素抗性基因 (ARGs), 需要及时监测和治理. 本研究选取河北邯郸明芳钢铁场地为研究区域, 采集了3根4 m的土壤柱. 采用超高效液相色谱-串联质谱仪检测了其中四大类 (磺胺类、氟喹诺酮类、大环内酯类、四环素类) 共17种抗生素的含量, 运用宏基因组测序技术研究了不同深度土壤中ARGs的种类、相对丰度和贡献物种. 研究结果表明, 总抗生素污染浓度范围在2593.2 ~ 4279.5 ng/g之间, 其中磺胺类抗生素 (SAs) 为166.1 ~ 1103.8 ng/g, 氟喹诺酮类抗生素 (FQs) 为993.3 ~ 1330.4 ng/g, 大环内酯类抗生素 (MLs) 为4.0 ~ 104.8 ng/g, 四环素类抗生素 (TCs) 为1269.5 ~ 2077.6 ng/g, 与其他区域土壤中抗生素浓度相比, 污染处于中度水平. 土壤剖面中, SAs在浅层土壤 (0—150 cm) 中占比高于深层土壤 (150—400 cm). MLs在深层土壤 (350—400 cm) 中有较多的累积. TCs和FQs的占比在各土壤层中均较高, 是检测到的主要抗生素类别. 四大类抗生素对应的ARGs丰度均随土壤深度增加而减少, 其中大环内酯类ARGs相对丰度最大, 检出频率为0.92 × 105 ~ 1.44 × 105. 物种贡献度统计结果表明, 放线菌门 (Actinobacteria) 对四大类抗生素抗性基因的丰度均具有最大的贡献. 综上, 本研究揭示了抗生素在场地土壤中的分布迁移特征, 而ARGs在深层土壤中的污染不容忽视, 可能会污染地下水, 增加抗生素耐药菌的传播.

Abstract:

The presence of a variety of environmental contaminants in the soils of steelworks seriously threatens the safety of urban soil and groundwater. Emerging pollutants in deep soils, such as antibiotics and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), have not been studied extensively and require timely monitoring and treatment. In this study, the Mingfang Iron and Steel Plant in Handan, Hebei Province, was selected as the research area, and three 4-meter soil columns were collected. The contents of 17 antibiotics in four categories (sulfonamides, fluoroquinolones, macrolides, and tetracyclines) were detected by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The types and abundances of ARGs in the soil at different depths were investigated by metagenomic sequencing. The results showed that the total antibiotic concentrations ranged from 2593.2 to 4279.5 ng/g, among which sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) were 166.1 to 1103.8 ng/g, fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) were 993.3 to 1330.4 ng/g, macrolide antibiotics (MLs) ranged from 4.0 to 104.8 ng/g, and tetracycline antibiotics (TCs) ranged from 1269.5 to 2077.6 ng/g, with mild to moderate levels of contamination. Soil profile analysis demonstrated that the percentage of SAs were higher in the topsoils (0—150 cm) than in the deep soils (150—400 cm). Contrastingly, MLs accumulated more in deep soils (350—400 cm). The percentages of TCs and FQs were higher in all soil layers and they were the main antibiotic classes detected. The abundance of ARGs corresponding to the four classes of antibiotics decreased with increasing soil depth. The relative abundance of macrolide ARGs was the highest, with the read number of the detected sequences ranging from 0.92 × 105 to 1.44 × 105. The statistical chart of species contributions indicated that Actinobacteria made the greatest contribution to the abundance of ARGs in all four major categories. In conclusion, this study revealed the distribution and migration characteristics of antibiotics in the site soils. Deep soil pollution by ARGs is a matter of concern as it may lead to groundwater contamination and the increased distribution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
