Mobile phones are used the world over, including in healthcare settings. This study aimed to investigate viable microbial colonisation of mobile by personnel. Swabs collected on same day from 30 belonging workers three separate paediatric wards an Australian hospital were cultured five types agar plate, then colonies each phone pooled, extracted and sequenced shotgun metagenomics.

Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are fully synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial agents that are becoming increasingly popular in the treatment of clinical and veterinary infections. Being excreted during treatment, mostly as active compounds, their biological action is not limited to the therapeutic site, but it is moved further as resistance selection pressure into the environment. Water environment i...

Despite of a high abundance antibiotics, heavy metals, and organic matters detected in the Saigon River Ho Chi Minh City, level spread antibiotic resistance genes this river are poorly understood. In study, total 10 (ARGs), including conferring to aminoglycosides (aac(6)-Ib-cr), β-lactam antibiotics (blaCTX-M, blaSHV, blaTEM), quinolones (qnrA, qnrB), sulfonamides (sul1, sul2), trimethoprim (df...

At present, very little is known about the fate and persistence of multiresistant bacteria (MRB) and their resistance genes in natural aquatic environments. Treated, but partly also untreated sewage of the city of Lausanne, Switzerland is discharged into Vidy Bay (Lake Geneva) resulting in high levels of contamination in this part of the lake. In the present work we have studied the prevalence ...

The purpose of this study was to quantify the occurrence and release of antibiotic resistant genes (ARGs) and antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) into the environment through the effluent and biosolids of different wastewater treatment utilities including an MBR (Membrane Biological Reactor) utility, conventional utilities (Activated Sludge, Oxidative Ditch and Rotatory Biological Contactors-RB...

Abstract Multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria are a significant contributor to the global antibiotic resistance crisis, which is predicted kill more people than cancer by 2050. Livestock production contributing factor as it has been one of fastest-growing industries in previous century but most harmful effects on environment and human health. The pig widely raised consumed food-producing animal g...

Abstract An on‐farm solid–liquid separator (SLS) and rotary drum composter (RD) manure treatment system was monitored for its impact on antibiotic residues resistance genes (ARGs). Administered antibiotics were tracked, mass flows quantified. Total amounts of ARGs calculated from measured concentrations flows. Only oxytetracycline (OTC) sulfadimethoxine (SDM) detected in the influent. No β‐lact...

The depletion of blaKPC (K. pneumoniae), blaOXA-50 (P. aeruginosa) and mecA (S. aureus) genes from hospital urines is evaluated to contribute solve the silent pandemic antibiotic-resistance bacteria. A microfluidic flow-through reactor with MMO anode CB/PTFE cathode working at 50 m−2 employed during electrodisinfection photo-electrodisinfection processes. process only achieves an almost negligi...

Antimicrobials are compounds that impede the activities of bacteria, viruses, parasites, or fungi. Continuous antimicrobial overuse, misuse, and improper use for human, animal, agricultural purposes raising concerns about antibiotic residue pollution in environment, resistance genes (ARGs). Because antimicrobial-resistant diseases linked to human–-microbial ecosystems, environmental from ARGs a...

The effluents of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are major contributors nutrients, microbes—including those carrying antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs)—and pathogens to receiving waterbodies. effect the effluent a small-scale activated sludge WWTP treating municipal on composition and abundance microbial community as well resistome in sediment water stream river was studied using metagenome...
