Frequency of Antibiotic Resistance in Bacteria Inhabiting Water of Downtown Pond
نویسندگان
چکیده
Antibiotic resistance of heterotrophic bacteria isolated from the surface microlayer and subsurface water of downtown pond was determined. The levels of resistance of bacteria to various antibiotics differed considerably. It follows from the results that bacteria were most resistant to penicillin and sensitive to gentamycin, neomycin and oxytetracycline. Majority of bacterial strains were characterised by resistance to 6-8 of 18 antibiotics tested. As a rule, there were no significant differences in antibiotic resistance between neustonic and planktonic bacteria. Pigmented bacteria were more antibiotic resistant than non-pigmented ones.

Background and Objective: The use of household water filter systems has been widely increasing in recent years because of water pollution. In water filter systems, bacterial biofilm forms on the surface of the membranes, thereby increasing the possibility of transferring antibiotic resistance among bacteria and allowing their entry into the human body. This study analyzed the types of bacteria...
