Antibiotic Resistance Bacteria from Rivers Water in Algeria

Abstract

The aim of the current investigation was to look on the presence of the antibiotic resistance bacteria in natural environment in Algeria. From fresh water, multidrug resistant bacteria were harvested, and then investigated for their resistance profile and extend spectrum Beta lactamase and metallo Beta lactamase production. From isolate bacteria only Aeromonas hydrophila catch our attention, because of their metallo Beta lactamase production and alimentary and clinical impact. This finding confirmed our hypothesis that natural environment could be colonized by multidrug resistant bacteria especially to carbapenem antibiotic who may be induced by mutation or horizontal gene transfer. The spread of these kinds of resistance organisms may become a serious issue for the public health and food security.

Antimicrobials and Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria: A Risk to the Environment and to Public Health

“…The Gram-positive methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) bacteria are also of great concern for public health. Both are known to have the potential to cause epidemics [74][75][76]. Although few studies have confirmed the presence of ESBL, MRSA, and VRE producers in the environment, where they can act as a reservoir of such resistance, their presence is nonetheless disturbing, as these genes can be transferred into human pathogens [77][78][79][80].…”

Chemical disinfection in healthcare settings: critical aspects for the development of global strategies

“…Up to now, demonstration for the emergence of antibiotic and/or disinfectant-resistant organisms in the general environment has been scarce, but in recent years, there has been an increasing number of studies and publications in this field. The occurrence of antibiotic-resistant organisms in various aquatic habitats has been described for almost all parts of the world [ 133 ], [ 134 ], [ 135 ], [ 136 ], [ 137 ].…”

The Transmission of Pseudomonas putida in Some Tilapia species in Egypt: The Potential Role of Clinostomum Infestation

“…Our results were slightly differed from (Urku, 2021; Alzahrani et al, 2022) who found that isolates of P. putida were sensitive to Ciprofloxacin and resistant to Ampicillin. At the present, rivers are highly contaminated with antibiotic-resistant bacteria, transferred from sewage drainage, especially from hospitals, agricultural drainage, slaughterhouses, clinics, and animal husbandries (Djenadi, 2017). Recently, (Zaki et al, 2023) found antibioticresistant bacteria in the Nile River's raw and tap water in the Dakahlia Region of Egypt due to urbanization, accumulation of microbial contamination during different water transfers from source to homes, misuse and increased exposure to antibiotics in human treatment, in poultry, and livestock farms and agriculture, which may pose a serious ecological risk to the waters and public health.…”
