  • Descrição: In response to the rapid emergence and dissemination of antimicrobial resistant bacteria (ARB) and genes (ARGs), integrated surveillance systems are needed to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR) within the One Health Era. Wastewater analyses enable biomarker monitoring at the sewershed level, offering timely insights into pathogen circulation and ARB/ARGs trends originating from different compartments. During two consecutive epidemic waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in Portugal, taxonomic and functional composition of raw urban wastewater from two wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) representing one million in equivalent population, located in the main urban areas of the country, were profiled by shotgun metagenomics. Hospital wastewater from two central hospitals located in the WWTPs catchment areas were also sequenced. The resistome and virulome were profiled using metagenomic assemblies without taxonomic constraint, and then specifically characterized for ESKAPE pathogens. Urban and hospital wastewater exhibited specific microbiota signatures, Pseudomonadota dominated in the first and Bacteroidota in the latter. Correlation network analyses highlighted 85 (out of top 100) genera co-occurring across samples. The most frequent ARGs were classified in the multidrug, tetracyclines, and Macrolides, Lincosamides, Streptogramins (MLS) classes. Links established between AMR determinants and bacterial hosts evidenced that the diversity and abundance of ARGs is not restricted to ESKAPE, being also highly predominant among emergent enteropathogens, like Aeromonas and Aliarcobacter, or in the iron (II) oxidizer Acidovorax. The Aliarcobacter genus accumulated high abundance of sulphonamides and polymyxins ARGs, while Acinetobacter and Aeromonas hosted the highest abundance of ARGs against beta-lactams. Other bacteria (e.g. Clostridioides, Francisella, Vibrio cholerae) and genes (e.g. vanA-type vancomycin resistance) of public health interest were detected, with targeted monitoring efforts being needed to establish informative baseline data. Altogether, results highlight that wastewater monitoring is a valuable component of pathogen and AMR surveillance in healthy populations, providing a community-representative snapshot of public health trends beyond priority pathogens. [Display omitted] •Urban and hospital wastewater exhibit specific microbiota signatures.•The diversity and abundance of ARGs is not restricted to ESKAPE pathogens.•The most abundant ARGs correspond to the most consumed antimicrobials in Europe.•The virulome and broad host-range plasmids were differentially enriched in WWTPs.•WBE is a powerful tool to track pathogen and AMR trends of public health interest.
