Abstract
Phages are among the most widely spread viruses, but their profiles and the antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) they carry in swine wastewater remain underexplored. The present study investigated the distribution characteristics of phages and their ARG risk in anoxic/oxic (A/O) wastewater treatment processes of swine farms using short- and long-read metagenome and virome. The results demonstrated that the virome could extract more phage sequences than the total metagenome; thus, it was more suited for studying phages in wastewater settings. Intriguingly, phages had significantly lower abundance of ARG than ARGs harbored by total microorganisms (P < 0.01). Eleven ARGs co-occurred with phages and bacteria (R > 0.6 and P < 0.05), with Siphoviridae being the phage co-occurring with the most ARGs (5). Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events were observed between Proteobacteria and the major phyla except for Bacteroidota. Furthermore, there were prophage sequences and ARGs on the same contig in bacterial MAGs. These data strongly demonstrate that phages promote horizontal transfer of ARG between bacterial hosts in A/O processes for swine wastewater treatment. Therefore, the risk of phage-mediated horizontal transfer of ARGs cannot be overlooked despite the low abundance of phage ARGs (pARG).
