Objectives Acinetobacter indicus is an important pathogen of nosocomial infection. The purpose of this study was to analyze the resistance and transmission of A. indicus strain AIBD14 isolated from slaughterhouse environment. Methods A total of 96 environmental samples were collected from slaughterhouse. The antimicrobial susceptibility test was carried out by microbroth dilution method and E -test. Whole genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis of the AIBD14 were performed, then S1-PFGE and southern blot verified the location of bla NDM-1 and tet (X6). Results The AIBD14 is resistant to meropenem but susceptibility to tigecycline, and coharboring bla NDM-1 and tet (X6). The bla NDM-1 is located on the pAIBD14-NDM-1 that cannot be transferred by conjugation. Specifically, bla NDM-1 is located on the transposon Tn 125 , and bla NDM-1 can be transferred to other species with the help of transposon. The genetic background of bla NDM-1 is "IS Aba125 - bla NDM-1 - ble MEL - dsbD - cutA - groES - groEL -insE-IS Aba125 ". pAIBD14-NDM-1 is classified into the GR31 plasmid based on the homology of the repB . Meanwhile, there are two XerC/D-like binding sites on the plasmid, which can mediate the transfer of resistance genes. The tet (X6) gene is located on the chromosome of AIBD14, its downstream is accompanied by the neglected macrolide resistance gene estT , and there is a single copy of the insertion element IS CR2 around tet (X6) as the genetic background "IS Aba4 -IS 3 -hp-hp- tet (X6)- estT - guaA -IS CR2 ". Conclusions This is the first report of the coexistence of tet (X6) and bla NDM-1 in the A. indicus , and it has the risk of horizontal transfer across multiple species. So strict monitoring the multiple-resistant bacteria in the industrial chain is necessary based on the "One Heath".

The effects of antibiotics, such as tetracycline, sulfamethoxazole, and ciprofloxacin, on functional microorganisms are of significant concern in wastewater treatment. This study observed that Acinetobacter indicus CZH-5 has a limited capacity to remove nitrogen and phosphorus using antibiotics (5 mg/L) as the sole carbon source. When sodium acetate was supplied (carbon/nitrogen ratio = 7), the average removal efficiencies of ammonia-N, total nitrogen, and orthophosphate-P increased to 52.46 %, 51.95 %, and 92.43 %, respectively. The average removal efficiencies of antibiotics were 84.85 % for tetracycline, 39.32 % for sulfamethoxazole, 18.85 % for ciprofloxacin, and 23.24 % for their mixtures. Increasing the carbon/nitrogen ratio to 20 further improved the average removal efficiencies to 72.61 % for total nitrogen and 97.62 % for orthophosphate-P (5 mg/L antibiotics). Additionally, the growth rate and pollutant removal by CZH-5 were unaffected by the presence of 0.1–1 mg/L antibiotics. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the promoted translation of aceE , aarA , and gltA genes provided ATP and proton -motive forces. The nitrogen metabolism and polyphosphate genes were also affected. The expression of acetate kinase, dehydrogenase, flavin mononucleotide enzymes, and cytochrome P450 contributed to antibiotic degradation. Intermediate metabolites were investigated to determine the reaction pathways.

Inoculating functional bacterial strains is a cost-effective strategy for enhancing treatment of anaerobic digestion liquids in swine wastewater. This study systematically evaluated inoculation of heterotrophic nitrification aerobic denitrification strain Acinetobacter indicus CZH-5 in an internal circulation airlift zeolite sphere-based sequencing batch reactor (IR) for aerobic removal of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and tetracycline (TEC). Inoculation with CZH-5 promoted secretion of quorum sensing signaling molecules, specifically N-acyl-homoserine lactones (C6-HSL and C10-HSL). These signaling molecules enhance quorum sensing and reinforce cooperation among functional bacteria. Under optimal conditions, average removal efficiencies of total nitrogen, total phosphate, and TEC were 92.8%, 88.4%, and 93.1%, respectively. The removal performance in IR exceeded that of the control by 26%–71%. N removal involved complete nitrification-denitrification, while accumulated P was transformed into phosphate monoesters within biofilm. Metagenomic analysis identified Thauera and Acinetobacter as the dominant genera, and Acinetobacter indicus as predominant species. Inoculation enhanced microbial richness and diversity to improve system operational stability. The abundance of functional genes associated with N, P, and TEC transformations significantly increased compared to the control. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics and mechanisms of inoculating a heterotrophic nitrification aerobic denitrification strain into an aerated biofilm system for swine wastewater remediation.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria are emerging all the time, but the continued emergence of novel resistance genes and genetic structures is even more alarming. Tigecycline is currently the important last barrier in the treatment of multidrug-resistant (MDR) infections. tet (X), a resistance gene to tigecycline, is the most prevalent and constantly emerging novel variants. In this research, we characterized two MDR Acinetobacter indicus strains to tigecycline that were identified and analyzed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing, conjugation transfer, whole genome sequencing (WGS) and bioinformatics analysis, and gene function analysis. The results showed that three tet (X) variants were carried in BDT201, including tet (X6) on the chromosome, tet (X3) on the plasmid pBDT201–2, and a novel tet (X5) variant adjacent to the IS Aba1 elements on the plasmid pBDT201–3. The novel Tet(X5) variant showed 98.7% amino acid identity with Tet(X5) and was named Tet(X5.4). By expressing tet (X5.4) gene, the tigecycline minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for Escherichia coli JM109 increased 32- fold (from 0.13 to 4 mg/L). BDT2076 contained tigecycline and carbapenems resistance genes, such as tet (X3), bla OXA-58 , bla NDM-3 , and bla CARB-2 . The continuous emergence of MDR bacteria and resistance genes is a global environmental health issue that can not be ignored and therefore needs to pay more urgent attention to it.
