Abstract
Open freshwater systems show some resilience to the impact of sewage effluent on a species level.
Even in systems in which changes to the microbial system are masked by bacterial seeding from
upstream, the impact of sewage can be shown by a higher prevalence and abundance of class I
integrons. This change, which brings about greater antibiotic resistance – and all the problems this
entails - should not be ignored. Heavily sewage impacted rivers like the Kennet might have a microbial
system that has already adjusted to continuous heightened SE input.
