Storm promotes the dissemination of antibiotic resistome in an urban lagoon through enhancing bio-interactions Environ. Int. (IF 13.352) Pub Date : 2022-08-06 Liyuan Hou, Jiangwei Li, Hongjie Wang, Qingfu Chen, Jian-Qiang Su, Mahmoud Gad, Warish Ahmed, Chang-Ping Yu, Anyi Hu
Antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) and resistant bacteria (ARB) are abundant in stormwater that could cause serious infections, posing a potential threat to public health. However, there is no inference about how stormwater contributes to ARG profiles as well as the dynamic interplay between ARGs and bacteria via vertical gene transfer (VGT) or horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in urban water ecosystems

In the past 50 years, testosterone (T) level in men has declined gradually. In this research, we discovered that acute exposure to 1-nitropyrene (1-NP), an environmental stressor from polluted atmosphere, reduced T contents by downregulating steroidogenic proteins in mouse testes and Leydig cells. Acute 1-NP exposure caused GCN2 activation and eIF2α phosphorylation, a marker of integrated stress, in
