[0060] Example 3: Inhibition of conversion by EPS with different redox states

[0061] Preparation of oxidized and reduced EPS:

[0062] Using a three-electrode cell, EPS was oxidized or reduced at ±0.7V on an electrochemical workstation (CHI600E; CH Instruments, USA) for 12 h, respectively. Platinum sheet and Ag / AgCl were used as counter and reference electrodes, and carbon paper (1 cm × 2 cm) was used as the counter electrode and reference electrode. ) as the working electrode to obtain EPS in oxidized and reduced states, respectively.

[0063] Preparation of competent bacteria and ARGs:

[0064] In this example, Escherichia coli (E.coli trans5α) was used as the competent bacteria, which was purchased from Quanshijin Biological Co., Ltd., and the LB medium was the E.coli growth substrate during the transformation process. The antibiotic resistance gene was provided by a plasmid carrying tetracycline resistance (pBR322), which was purchased from Shanghai Sangong Company.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for inhibiting antibiotic resistance gene transformation by using an extracellular polymeric substance, which comprises the following steps of: adding the extracellular polymeric substance into a microorganism culture system containing competent bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes; or respectively adding the extracellular polymeric substance component and extracellular polymeric substances in different oxidation-reduction states into a microorganism culture system containing competent bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes so as to inhibit the antibiotic resistance genes from entering the microorganism cells in a transformation manner. Wherein the extracellular polymeric substance is a product obtained by heating and extracting activated sludge. Due to the adoption of the technical scheme, the conversion of the antibiotic resistance gene can be inhibited, and the propagation risk of the antibiotic resistance gene is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a risk control method for antibiotic resistance genes, in particular to a method for inhibiting the transformation of antibiotic resistance genes by using extracellular polymers, and belongs to the field of antibiotic resistance gene risk control. Background technique [0002] Due to the widespread use of antibiotics in human disease treatment and animal husbandry, antibiotic resistance has spread globally, leading to the ubiquity and spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the environment. ARGs have been identified as an emerging pollutant and have been detected in rivers, lakes, oceans, soils, and sewage plants. ARGs can spread antibiotic resistance through horizontal gene transfer. Horizontal gene transfer includes three ways: conjugation, transduction and transformation. Conjugation and transduction are mainly mediated by intracellular ARGs, while transformation is mediated by extracellular ARGs. [0003] Due to t...
