Ciprofloxacin Resistance in Domestic Wastewater Treatment Plants
نویسندگان
چکیده
The potential of domestic wastewater treatment plants to contribute for the dissemination of ciprofloxacin-resistant bacteria was assessed. Differences on bacterial counts and percentage of resistance in the raw wastewater could not be explained on basis of the size of the plant or demographic characteristics of population served. In contrast, the treated effluent of the larger plants had significantly more heterotrophs and enterobacteria, including ciprofloxacin-resistant organisms, than the smaller (p<0.01). Moreover, longer hydraulic retention times were associated with significantly higher percentages of resistant enterobacteria in the treated effluent (p<0.05). Independently of the size or type of treatment used, domestic wastewater treatment plants discharged per day at least 10–10 colony forming units of ciprofloxacin-resistant bacteria into the receiving environment.

Background and objective: Wastewater treatment plants are important hotspots for the spread of antibiotic resistance genes to the environment. The aim of this study identification of relevant antibiotic resistance genes in raw and final effluent of municipal wastewater treatment and also determination of effects of different wastewater treatment process on removal/reduction of these pollu...

Contaminated phosphorus in aquatic environments is a critical problem. This research studied on removal of phosphorus from domestic wastewater by using Echinodorus cordifolius augmented with Pseudomonas putida and Flavobacterium oryzihabitans. Plants treated phosphorus from domestic wastewater for 20 test runs continuously, the effect of phosphorus treatment by microorganisms in domestic wastew...

The environmental spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has been recognised as a growing public health threat for which hospitals play a significant role. The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of antibiotic resistance and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in Escherichia coli isolates from hospital wastewater in Vietnam. Wastewater samples before and after treatment were c...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance, antimicrobial residues and bacterial community composition in urban wastewater.
This study was based on the hypothesis that the occurrence of antimicrobial residues and antibiotic resistant bacteria in the sewage could be correlated with the structure and composition of the bacterial community and the antibiotic resistance loads of the final effluent. Raw and treated wastewater composite samples were collected from an urban treatment plant over 14 sampling dates. Samples w...

The community of whole microbes and antibiotic resistance bacteria (ARB) in hospital wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) receiving domestic wastewater (DWW) and hospital wastewater (HWW) was investigated. Samples from an influent of a secondary clarifier, at each treatment train, were characterized for the whole microbial community and ARB on the antibiotic resistance database, based on high-thr...
