Occurrence of multiple-antibiotic-resistant enteric bacteria in domestic sewage and oxidation lagoons.
The coliform bacterial population in the Grand Forks, N.Dak. sewage system was examined for multiple-antibiotic-resistant organisms over a 1-year period. Multiple-antibiotic-resistant coliforms were found to be common in the sewage, and their numbers remained fairly constant relative to the total coliform population throughout the year. Resistance to kanamycin, tetracycline, and ampicillin was ...
متن کاملAntibiotic resistance among coliform and fecal coliform bacteria isolated from sewage, seawater, and marine shellfish.
Seawater and shellfish samples collected in the vicinity of a marine sewage outfall were examined for the incidence of antibiotic resistance among coliform and fecal coliform bacteria over a 2-year period. Seventy percent or more of these two groups of bacteria from both sources were resistant to one or more antibiotics. Forty-five percent of the isolates resistant to streptomycin or tetracycli...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Possibility of Chromosomal and Plasmid-Dependent Antibiotic-Transferable Genes in Acinetobacter Genomic Isolates Isolated from Clinical Specimens and genotype
Background: Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the most important causes of nosocomial infections and has an extraordinary ability to obtain antimicrobial resistance to a wide range of antibiotics. Multidrug-resistant strains and producers of AmpC beta-lactamases of this bacterium cause serious infectious diseases in different parts of the hospital and in hospitalized people, and the treatment o...
متن کاملSampling and Pooling Methods for Capturing Herd Level Antibiotic Resistance in Swine Feces using qPCR and CFU Approaches
The aim of this article was to define the sampling level and method combination that captures antibiotic resistance at pig herd level utilizing qPCR antibiotic resistance gene quantification and culture-based quantification of antibiotic resistant coliform indicator bacteria. Fourteen qPCR assays for commonly detected antibiotic resistance genes were developed, and used to quantify antibiotic r...
متن کاملAntibiotic Resistant Bacteria: A Factor to be Considered in Safe Drinking Water
Wastewater management has been subjected to different treatment technologies using chemical and biological techniques for several decades in order to protect the environment and public health. Biological treatment is based on microbial capability to reduce the pathogens load to achieve the lowest environmental as well as public health risks. However, such treatment is often neglecting the fact ...
