The new study shows that antibiotic resistance is more easily transferred between genetically similar bacteria, and that this primarily occurs in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and inside the human body. This is revealed by a study from the University of Gothenburg in Sweden.<\/p>\n<p>The model was trained on the genetic data of nearly one million bacteria\u2014a vast dataset compiled by the international research community over many years. One of the study\u2019s findings is a new perspective on where resistance arises. The study reveals the environments in which resistance genes are transferred between bacteria and what makes some bacteria more prone to gene exchange than others.<\/p>\n<p>Antibiotic resistance is rapidly increasing as bacteria evolve the ability to withstand treatments that once killed them, making common infections harder to treat. This growing threat is fueled by overuse of antibiotics in humans and animals, and by environments like wastewater treatment plants where resistant bacteria and genes can easily spread. According to an international study from 2019 in seven European countries, the use of antibiotics mirrors concentrations of resistant bacteria in wastewater. Higher concentrations of resistant bacteria are found in wastewater treatment plants in Southern European countries.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2025\/may\/22\/revealed-uranium-from-uk-nuclear-fuel-factory-dumped-into-protected-ribble-estuary\">Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-717\/\">Study shows antibiotic-resistant bacteria adapt genes in WWTPs<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22,1],"tags":[18918,1127,575,2885,655],"class_list":["post-140243","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","category-yleinen","tag-antibiotic-resistant","tag-bacteria","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-wastewater","tag-yleinen"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140243","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140243"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140243\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140243"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140243"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140243"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
