  abstract = {{A} major forthcoming sanitary issue concerns the apparition and spreading of drug-resistant microorganisms, potentially threatening millions of humans. {I}n low-income countries, polluted urban runoff and open sewage channels are major sources of microbes. {T}hese microbes join natural microbial communities in aquatic ecosystems already impacted by various chemicals, including antibiotics. {T}hese composite microbial communities must adapt to survive in such hostile conditions, sometimes promoting the selection of antibiotic-resistant microbial strains by gene transfer. {T}he low probability of exchanges between planktonic microorganisms within the water column may be significantly improved if their contact was facilitated by particular meeting places. {T}his could be specifically the case within biofilms that develop on the surface of the myriads of floating macroplastics increasingly polluting urban tropical surface waters. {M}oreover, as uncultivable bacterial strains could be involved, analyses of the microbial communities in their whole have to be performed. {T}his means that new-omic technologies must be routinely implemented in low- and middle-income countries to detect the appearance of resistance genes in microbial ecosystems, especially when considering the new 'plastic context.'{W}e summarize the related current knowledge in this short review paper to anticipate new strategies for monitoring and surveying microbial communities.},
