The emergence and spread of clinical pathogens, antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment pose a direct threat to human and animal health worldwide. In this study, we analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively urban sewage resistome for the occurrence of genes encoding resistance to ß-lactams and glycopeptides in the genomes of culturable bacteria, as well as in the wastewater metagenome of the Central Wastewater Treatment Plant in Kozieglowy (Poland). Moreover, we estimated the presence of pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria in wastewater based on analysis of species-specific virulence genes in the wastewater metagenome. The results show that the final effluent contains alarm pathogens with particularly dangerous mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). We also noticed that during the wastewater treatment, there is an increase in the frequency of MRSA and VRE. Furthermore, the results prove the effective removal of vanA, but at the same time show that wastewater treatment increases the relative abundance of mecA and virulence genes (groES and sec), indicating the presence of clinical pathogens E. faecalis and S. aureus in the effluent released to surface waters. We also observed an increase in the relative abundance of mecA and vanA genes already in the aeration tank, which suggests accumulation of contaminants affecting enhanced selection and HGT processes in the activated sludge. Moreover, we found a relation between the taxonomic composition and the copy number of ARGs as well as the presence of pathogens at various stages of wastewater treatment. The presence of clinically relevant pathogens, ARB, including multi-resistant bacteria, and ARGs in the effluent indicates that wastewater treatment plant play a key role in the existence of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance spreading pathway in the environment and human communities, which is a direct threat to public health and environmental protection.
