Antibiotic Resistance of Escherichia coli Serotypes from Cochin Estuary
This study aimed at detecting the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant serotypes of Escherichia coli in Cochin estuary, India. E. coli strains were isolated during the period January 2010-December 2011 from five different stations set at Cochin estuary. Water samples from five different stations in Cochin estuary were collected on a monthly basis for a period of two years. Isolates were serotyped...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance and virulence genes of extraintestinal pathogenic Escherichia coli from tropical estuary, South India.
INTRODUCTION Escherichia coli strains can cause a variety of intestinal and extraintestinal diseases. Extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli (ExPEC) strains have the ability to cause severe extraintestinal infections. Multidrug resistance among ExPEC could complicate human infections. METHODOLOGY Escherichia coli strains were isolated during the period of January 2010 to December 2012 from five d...
متن کاملResidual fluxes of water and nutrient transport through the main inlet of a tropical estuary, Cochin estuary, West Coast, India.
Determining robust values for estuarine material fluxes has been a complex task and an interdisciplinary research challenge. With the advent of acoustic Doppler profilers (ADPs) having bottom-track capability and which provides three-dimensional current velocity profiles, more accurate estimation of cross-sectional fluxes is far accomplished in unsteady and bidirectional flow conditions of estu...
متن کاملEutrophication induced changes in benthic community structure of a flow-restricted tropical estuary (Cochin backwaters), India.
The influence of anthropogenic loading on the distribution of soft bottom benthic organisms of a tropical estuary (Cochin backwaters) was examined. The industrial activities were found to be high in the northern and central part of the estuary, where dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN > 210 μM) and phosphorus (DIP > 6.5 μM) have caused high abundance of chlorophyll a (up to 73 mg m(-3)) and accu...
متن کاملSeasonal Variation of Heavy Metals in Cochin Estuary and Adjoining Periyar and Muvattupuzha Rivers, Kerala, India
Heavy metal pollution is of particular concern as they have deleterious effects on biota through mobilization and accumulation in various trophic levels. The present study mainly focused on the water pollution by heavy metals in Cochin estuary and two adjoining rivers. The methods include seasonal collection of surface water from the study area and their subsequent heavy metal analysis. The stu...
