The presence of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) including those expressing ESBLs and
AmpC-β-lactamases in Escherichia coli inhabiting the aquatic environments is a serious …

Globally, urban water bodies have emerged as an environmental reservoir of antimicrobial
resistance (AMR) genes because resistant bacteria residing here might easily disseminate …

Aquatic environments harboring antibiotic resistant Escherichia coli constitute an important
public health concern. Thus, it is important to characterize the resistance genetic elements of …

Antibiotic resistance is one of the major current global health crises. Because of increasing
contamination with antimicrobials, pesticides, and heavy metals, the aquatic environment …

The extended-spectrum β-lactamase gene blaCTX-M-15 was almost ubiquitous in diverse
antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli isolated from surface water around Dhaka City …

Introduction The rapid and wide-scale environmental spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria
in different ecosystems has become a serious issue in recent years. Objectives To …

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is an important factor threatening human health. It is
widely accepted that antibiotic resistant bacteria such as Escherichia coli (E. coli) released …

The goal of this study was to determine how surface and wastewater contribute to the
contamination of the environment with an extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing …

Fifty-five ampicillin-resistant (Amp r) Escherichia coli strains were isolated from 51 drinking
water points in Rize region containing abundant fresh water sources in Turkey during the …

Abstract Pathogens encoding extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) genes represent a
threat for failure of empirical antibiotic therapy and are associated with high mortality …
