McKenna (2013)
The age of antibiotic resistance
![Page 3: Interactions Between Antibiotic Resistance In Soil Microbial Communities And Coupled Elemental Cycles](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070521/58f062ed1a28ab67358b460b/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The burden of antibiotic resistance
•80% of U.S. antibiotic sales are for livestock (FDA 2011, Sarmah et al 2006)• 32.6 million lbs
•Globally, use is predicted to increase by 67% in the next 20y (Van Boeckel et al 2015)
• 40-95% of administered antibiotic is excreted! (Toth et al 2011)
• 13-31 million lbs of antibiotics enter the environment.
What are the consequences of antibiotic inputs on soil microbial composition and function?

Antibiotic effects on soil microbes• Bacterial community compositional shifts towards groups
indicative of resistance• Increase in antibiotic resistance gene (ARGs) abundance• Maintenance of antibiotic resistance may increase
metabolic demands

Examining antibiotic effects• Nationwide observation of paired manure exposed
and reference sites.
Assessed soil parameters, bacterial community composition, ARG abundance and activity, mass specific respiration
High input

Change in bacterial community composition
• Increase in relative abundance of Firmicutes and -Proteobacteria𝛾• Environmental indicators of ARGs (Berendonk et al.
2015)• 25-fold increase in Acinetobacter
CDC (2013)

Change in ARG abundance
• ampC was ~400% greater under high inputs
• tetO was ~3,000% greater

Implications for function
• 2-fold increase in mass specific respiration• Back of the envelope - ~4 metric ton ha-1 y-1 increase in
respired C

Conclusions• Cattle inputs can markedly shift bacterial
community composition and ARG abundance
• The maintenance of antibiotic resistance may have implications for ecosystem functions
• Can the maintenance of antibiotic resistance be directly linked to ecosystem function?

S.C.A.R.E. Results
• Choice of antibiotic → 3.9 to 6.5 metric tons of C ha-1 y-1 difference.

Conclusions• Cattle inputs can markedly shift bacterial
community composition and ARG abundance
• The maintenance of antibiotic resistance may have implications for ecosystem functions
• Can the maintenance of antibiotic resistance be directly linked to ecosystem function?
• Antibiotic treatment regimes can induce change in soil respiration.
• Antibiotic effects can manifest rapidly and are dependent on the type of antibiotic administered.

• We must also be concerned with the effect antibiotics have on soil microbial communities and the ecosystem processes that these communities regulate.
Antibiotics and antibiotic resistance can have ecosystem implications
