Occurrence of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria in Urban Karst Groundwater Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antibiotic resistance is a global concern for human, animal, and environmental health. Many studies have identified wastewater treatment plants surface waters as major reservoirs of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) genes (ARGs). Yet their prevalence in urban karst groundwater systems remains largely unexplored. Considering the extent use globally, growing areas these regions, there an urgent need to understand protect source water human This study evaluated ARGs associated with phenotypes at 10 features Bowling Green, Kentucky weekly 46 weeks. To expand understanding karst, spot sampling 45 sites Tampa Bay Metropolitan area, Florida was also conducted. Specifically, this considered tetracycline extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBLs) producing, including third generation cephalosporin, E. coli, macrolide Enterococcus spp. across 443 samples. A consistent clinically relevant were found throughout systems, regardless varying development, geology, climate, or landuse. These findings indicate reservoir resistance, potentially threatening

Occurrence of Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria in Environmental Wastes
Microbial resistance to antibiotics has been emerging in environmental isolates. This study was carried out from October 2008 to January 2009 to describe the antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the bacteria isolated from sewage sludge, biowaste and bioslurry samples. A total of 49 identified isolates were taken for antibiotic susceptibility test. Amikacin and Gentamicin were the effective anti...

Chronic urinary tract infections are often caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria. In some of these cases, prediction of the most effective antibiotic (s) may urgently be needed. This can not be achieved unless the nature and patterns of the resistance to antibiotics among the pathogenic bacteria has been described earlier. The urine samples that reached the laboratory of Shaheed Mustafa K...
متن کاملOccurrence and Distribution of Antibiotic-resistant Bacteria and Transfer of Resistance Genes in Lake Taihu
The overuse of antibiotics has accelerated antibiotic resistance in the natural environment, especially fresh water, generating a potential risk for public health around the world. In this study, antibiotic resistance in Lake Taihu was investigated and this was the first thorough data obtained through culture-dependent methods. High percentages of resistance to streptomycin and ampicillin among...
متن کاملOccurrence of antibiotic resistant bacteria in waste site of Ede south west Nigeria.
Analysis of antibiotic resistant bacteria from composted waste site soil samples for two seasons were done, using prepared diagnostic test agar and direct sensitivity tests. All major isolated bacteria were subjected to various antibiotics. Concurrent positive and negative tests were simultaneously studied. Results show relatively high resistant and sensitive bacteria in both seasons. In wet se...
