Prevalence of Antibiotic-Resistant Escherichia coli in Drinking Water Sources in Hangzhou City

Prevalence of Antibiotic-Resistant Escherichia coli in Drinking Water Sources in Hangzhou City

This study investigated the distribution of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli (E. coli) and examined the possible relationship between water quality parameters and antibiotic resistance from two different drinking water sources (the Qiantang River and the Dongtiao Stream) in Hangzhou city of China. E. coli isolates were tested for their susceptibility to 18 antibiotics. Most of the isolates...

The prevalence of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli isolates from fecal and water sources

The objective of this study is to investigate the prevalence and track the sources of antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli isolates of water sources. Water and fecal samples were collected and analyzed for the presence of E. coli isolates and antibiotic susceptibility using different biochemical testing methods. The results of the study showed that nearly 84.3% of the water sources were contam...

IncF Plasmids Are Commonly Carried by Antibiotic Resistant Escherichia coli Isolated from Drinking Water Sources in Northern Tanzania

The aim of this study was to identify the replicon types of plasmids, conjugation efficiencies, and the complement of antibiotic resistance genes for a panel of multidrug resistant E. coli isolates from surface waters in northern Tanzania. Standard membrane filtration was used to isolate and uidA PCR was used to confirm the identity of strains as E. coli. Antibiotic susceptibility was determine...
