Ozoaduche et al. (2025) examine acquired antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas spp., E. coli, and Acinetobacter spp. across selected countries in the Western Balkans and Hungary through a One Health perspective. Their study integrates clinical, veterinary, agricultural, and environmental samples—including hospital wastewaters, livestock, and wastewater treatment plants. They report high levels of multidrug resistance of these pathogens, which frequently carry extended-spectrum β‑lactamases and carbapenemases. The authors call for coordinated surveillance across humans, animals, and the environment to curb the spread of antibiotic resistance.

The study titled "Effects of Short-Term Feeding with Diets Containing Insect Meal on the Gut Microbiota of African Catfish Hybrids" (DOI: 10.3390/ani15091338) provides significant insights into the potential of insect-based diets in aquaculture.

This research supports the potential of insect meals as sustainable alternatives to traditional fish feeds. The ability of the catfish gut microbiota to adapt without negative effects underscores the feasibility of integrating insect-based proteins into aquaculture diets. Such practices could reduce reliance on conventional feed sources, promoting environmental sustainability in fish farming.The study also detected certain antibiotic resistance genes (e.g., tetA(P), tetB(P), lnu(C)) in both control and insect meal-fed groups.

The study titled "Antibiotic Resistance and Virulence Determinants of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Isolates Cultured from Hydrocarbon-Contaminated Environmental Samples" (DOI: 10.3390/microorganisms13030688) explores the characteristics of P. aeruginosa strains isolated from hydrocarbon-contaminated soils in Ogoniland, Nigeria.

While these P. aeruginosa strains have potential in cleaning up hydrocarbon pollutants, their antibiotic resistance and virulence traits raise concerns about environmental and public health risks. This underscores the importance of monitoring and managing such bacteria in bioremediation efforts to prevent potential health hazards.
