Bacteriological pollution, especially that including clinically important bacteria, of the aquatic
environment caused by anthropogenic pressure attracts much attention with regard to public …

Wastewater treatment plants have been considered potential sources of antibiotic resistance
gene exchange and release into the environment. The aim of our study was to quantify …

The carbapenem-resistant bacteria (CRB) are currently at the top of the WHO priority list of
bacteria that pose the greatest threat to human health. Considering that soil is one of the …

Infections with antibiotic resistant pathogens threaten lives and cause substantial costs. For
effective interventions, knowledge of the transmission paths of resistant bacteria to humans …

We examined the prevalence and diversity of carbapenem-resistant bacteria (CRB) in
untreated drinking water. Prevalence was estimated in plate count agar (PCA) and R2A …

Bacterial resistance to carbapenems is an emerging problem of this century. A carbapenem-
resistant bacterial population (CRBP) grown at 42 C was monitored in the influent and …

A survey for antibiotic-resistant (AR) Escherichia coli in wastewater was undertaken by
collecting samples from primary clarifiers and secondary effluents from seven …

Carbapenems are last-resort antibiotics to handle serious infections caused by multiresistant
bacteria. The incidence of resistance to these antibiotics has been increasing and new …

Although urban wastewater treatment plants (UWWTPs) are important sites for antibiotic
resistance elimination, their limitation in producing resistance-free effluents is recognized …

The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence of carbapenem resistance genes in
Acinetobacter spp. isolated from wastewater in a municipal WWTP and to determine their …
