Background
Antibiotics were developed in 1940 solely for the treatment of infections in humans and animals. Over the years, diseases considered deadly were considered non-issues due to the effectiveness of these medicines. Regrettably, the benefits of antibiotics have been hampered by the development of resistance to antibiotics by bacteria. In recent times certain antibiotics used to eradicate some bacteria have become inactive. Antibiotic resistance (AR) has become prevalent, spreading primarily in populations and the environment. Thus, the development and proliferation of antibiotic resistance are classified among major global threats by the World Health Organization ( ). In addition, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control described the colossal effect of AR on the human population resulting in approximately 25,000 deaths per annum, costing the health care sector over € 1.5 billion every year.
Proper sanitation of the water cycle is essential to sustain environmental and human health. The role of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and their microbiomes as putative hotspots for the proliferation of antibiotic resistance has questioned how effective these treatment systems are. Increasingly rising public, stakeholders, and governmental perception on this issue has highlighted the need for new quality criteria and installation upgrades.
Despite the gravity of the AR problem, in the wastewater sector, methodological biases have been the sole limiting factor on adequately monitoring the emission, fate, and possible amplification or removal of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) across WWTPs. Indeed, there is an urgent need to develop standardized methods and a well-curated database for accurate identification, characterization, and quantification of antibiotic resistance in such complex water matrices as wastewater. These issues are what REPARES aims to solve during the project period.
REPARES Goals
REPARES aims at advancing the European community’s know-how on antibiotic resistance across sanitation waterways, which in the future will bring society closer to achieving the Sustainable Development Goal of the United Nations. REPARES will act as an important vector to disseminate information on antimicrobial resistance spread within European WWTPs beyond science and technology to reach the academic and non-academic communities utilizing open events, popularization publications, and operation of the REPARES web platform.
Duration of Project
1 October 2019 - 30 September 2022
The relevance of research on antibiotic resistance
- Antibiotics are one of the common contaminants in wastewater.
- The increased bacterial antibiotic resistance stems from the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the transfer of resistance genes.
- Antibiotic resistance can be acquired through random gene mutations and/or by horizontal gene transfer.
- The World Health Organization qualified antibiotic resistance development as a significant global threat to society.
REPARES Objectives
- The increasing level of UCT’s scientific excellence
- Improving scientific profiles of UCT’s researchers
- Increasing UCT’s ability to apply for international projects successfully
- Fostering cooperation with the non-academic sector
- Advancing European community’s know-how on antibiotic resistance occurrence and spread in Europe

The studies in the US showed increments in hospital infections (78% increase in carbapenem-resistant infections, 32% multidrug-resistant infections, 14 and 13% increase in vancomycin and methicillin-resistant infections, respectively). Unfortunately, this research indicates that this increase is likely in wastewater treatment systems as well. To combat this issue, more monitoring of vulnerable systems like WWTPs to see recent trends and data sharing amongst different countries is needed to have an overview of the extent of proliferation and how to combat it effectively.

Karol Ciuchcinki, a master's student from the Drewniak and Dziewit group (http://ddlemb.com/) of the Department of Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology at the University of Warsaw, Poland, came to UCT Prague for a short research stay as an extension of the collaborative relationship between UCT, Prague and UW, Warsaw. Karol deals with bioinformatic analyses focusing on antibiotic and metal resistance in metagenomic samples. He is also involved in a project that is geared towards creating a fast and easy-to-use bioinformatics software.
Karol's stay was to help deal with genomic and metagenomic data from nanopore sequencing, performing de-novo assembly, taxonomic and functional analysis, targeting antibiotic resistance genes. He also is helping to compare two different AR detection methods - traditional PCR-based detection and MALDI-TOF MS-based identification.
He took it upon himself to take a three-day bioinformatics course open to all UCT, Prague REPARES members, which was successfully executed.

On Monday (25.1.) we focused on the phenotyping cultivation methods for the detection of ARB. The introductory lecture about these methods was given by dr. Sabina Purkrtová (UCT Prague). Consequently, Assoc. Prof. Lucia Bírošová (the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava) demonstrated their use for the study of ARB in wastewater in her lecture brilliantly. An extremely interesting discussion followed these lectures, in which discussion we were able to welcome also Assoc. Prof. Helena Žemličková (NIPH CZ - National Institute for Health Protection). On Tuesday (26.1.) we continued with lectures on MALDI-TOF MS usage for the identification of microorganisms and the detection of SNP mutations in ARG. In these lectures dr. Sabina Purkrtová (UCT Prague) explained the principles and presented her practical laboratory experiences and protocols. The third and last day, Wednesday (27.1.). was devoted to MALDI-TOF MS again, but this time to its usage as the tool for the detection of antibiotic resistance mechanisms. Prof. Jaroslav Hrabák (Biomedical Center, Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen, Charles University) presented in his interesting and very broad lecture the history, development, principles, benefits, and limits of these applications. Ing. Milada Šolcová (UCT Prague) then presented her laboratory experience with MALDI-TOF MS detection of beta-lactamase activity. The very deep and vivid discussion then completed this seminar.

We invite you to watch an insightful video produced by the REPARES Project, shedding light on the critical issue of antibiotic resistance spreading through wastewater treatment plants. In this compelling piece, we explore the consequences of this global health concern and the relentless efforts to combat it.
click here for the videoThe video provides an in-depth understanding of how wastewater treatment plants become breeding grounds for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. As wastewater from hospitals, households, and agriculture flows into these facilities, it carries substantial amounts of antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria, leading to the proliferation of resistance.
The REPARES Project is on a mission to find innovative solutions to this complex problem. The video showcases groundbreaking means of accessing advanced treatment technologies. These advancements aim to remove antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria from wastewater, curbing the spread of resistance.
Addressing antibiotic resistance necessitates collaboration across sectors. The video emphasizes the importance of engaging stakeholders from healthcare, agriculture, and environmental protection to jointly tackle this issue. Additionally, robust policy frameworks regulating the discharge of antibiotics into wastewater and encouraging sustainable practices are vital for long-term success.
Sabina Purkrtova, Marco Lopez, and Lois Ojobe from the UCT REPARES team recently participated in a two week soft skills training program at the lab of Prof. Célia M. Manaia and her team at the Centre for Biotechnology and Fine Chemistry, located at UCP Porto. The training took place from February 13th to 24th, during which they gained valuable insights into how the group functions and a fresh perspective on antibiotic resistance. This opportunity was greatly appreciated and the new skills and knowledge gained will be utilized to advance research in the fight against antibiotic resistance. #antibioticresistance #research #collaboration #softskillstraining
The REPARES team met in September in Leeuwarden for the European Water Tech Week 2022. The team also participated in spearheading plenary sessions on Antibiotic Resistance. We want to thank the organizers of EWTW2022 and one of our partners, Wetsus, European Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Water Technology. We are still committed to informing stakeholders, academics, and the public about Antibiotic Resistance and best practices for WWTP to reduce the flow of these emerging contaminants to the barest minimum.
According to the CDC, years of progress in combating antibiotic resistance were lost due to the covid 19 pandemic. The studies in the US showed increments in hospital infections (78% increase in carbapenem-resistant infections, 32% multidrug-resistant infections, 14 and 13% increase in vancomycin and methicillin-resistant infections, respectively). Unfortunately, this research indicates that this increase is likely in wastewater treatment systems as well. To combat this issue, more monitoring of vulnerable systems like WWTPs to see recent trends and data sharing amongst different countries is needed to have an overview of the extent of proliferation and how to combat it effectively.
A new study from the University of Bath supports what REPARES wants to help monitor and solve. The study demonstrated that different biological and chemically active agents we use in our daily lives that end up in the sewer lead to the spread of emerging pollutants, including antibiotic resistance. These agents move into bodies of water due to WWTPs lacking the ability to remove these emerging pollutants.

As part of the REPARES project, the Faculty of Biotechnology of the Porto Regional Centre of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa organized a workshop on ‘Water circularity: balancing challenges and opportunities' on the 3th of May.
The workshop was dedicated to experts and stakeholders in water treatment and analysis, finding ways to help solve antibiotic resistance in this sector. Participants, some of whom were members of the REPARES project, had the opportunity to discuss new and improved methodologies for detecting and quantifying the resistance genes and the application of these processes in real environments.
Bukola Lois Ojobe (a UCT-repares member) visited Wetsus under the REPARES mobility program for six months, from September 2021 to March 2022. She worked with Lucia Hernández Leal, Heike Smitt and Sam Rutten of the source-separated theme in the institute. She collaborated on the 'Integrity testing on NF membranes, detection of compromise and ARG proliferation during greywater treatment.' She was working on the cultivation of E.coli as a model indicator organism, detecting this organism during membrane compromise during wastewater treatment. She also worked on detecting ARGs in the system as well using qPCR. To fulfill REPARES' goal, she participated in the Ring test, an interlaboratory study to standardize ARG detection in wastewater.
Repares members attended the just concluded RESISTOMAP workshop titled ‘Monitoring antibiotic resistance in the environment using a high-throughput quantitative PCR system’ spearheaded by the Founder and CEO of resistomap Windi Muziasari, which was held on the 29th of March, 2022, in hybrid form. This workshop offered in-depth insight into monitoring antibiotic resistance in the environment, how the SmartChip qPCR system works, data analysis of results, an introduction to the resistapp used in real-time monitoring of antibiotic resistance, and an interactive laboratory tour for online participants.
The global leaders' group on antimicrobial resistance consisting of world leaders and subject leaders this month (March 2022) called countries across the globe to mitigate the dumping of antimicrobial waste into the environment. This mitigative process includes research and implementing various methods to ensure safe disposal of antimicrobial wastes from all sources. The group also called on countries to make the development of standards and regulations on the monitoring, release, and distribution of antimicrobials and agents of antimicrobial resistance into the environment a priority. In addition, the group focused on the manufacturing, human and animal health, and food sectors as the most critical industries when it comes to the release of these pollutants and holding these sectors accountable will reduce the 5 million antimicrobial resistance deaths yearly. Investors were also called on to invest in research and develop greener, cost-effective means of waste disposal.
For the second time, REPARES has a new paper published in the Journal of Hazardous Materials. We conducted a systematic review identifying mcr genes using the PCR technique. In addition, a new set of primers detecting mcr-1 – mcr-9 was proposed by the team in silico. The primers were validated by comparison with mcr genes already found in the literature. Overall, these novel new primers proved to be effective in detecting mcr genes in various environmental samples.

Today ends the World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW), celebrated from 18th to 24th of November every year. The theme for this year is Spread Awareness, Stop Resistance which called for One Health stakeholders, policymakers, health care providers, and the general public to be Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Awareness champions. This shows the importance of antibiotic resistance and how we live our lives, interact with the environment and put efforts into stopping this problem. In line with this, REPARES renews its commitment to helping prevent the spread of antibiotic resistance in wastewater treatment plants. For more information, please use this link:
Our colleagues (Ivone Vaz Moreira, Joana Silva, and Célia Manaia) and other exceptional researchers published a well-rounded study on antibiotic resistance in wastewater focusing on Poland and Portugal. The study titled ‘Antibiotic resistance in wastewater, does the context matter? Poland and Portugal, as a case study,’ focused on both countries as areas with high prevalence of antibiotic resistance. They hypothesized and discussed trends based on antibiotic use and the abundance of antibiotic resistance agents in wastewater before and after treatment.
