Antimicrobial-Resistant Bacterial Populations and Antimicrobial Resistance Genes Obtained from Environments Impacted by Livestock and Municipal Waste

Abstract: This study compared the populations of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria and the repertoire of antimicrobial resistance genes in four environments: effluent of three municipal wastewater treatment facilities, three cattle feedlot runoff catchment ponds, three swine waste lagoons, and two “low impact” environments (an urban lake and a relict prairie). Multiple liquid and solid samples were collected from each environment. The prevalences and concentrations of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) Gram-negative (Escheric… Show more

“…Generic (isolated on media that did not contain antimicrobials of interest and were not isolated based on any specific resistance), 3GC r , and TET r E. coli bacteria were each enumerated and detected as previously described (23,24). Briefly, 50 l of the enumeration aliquot or an appropriate dilution of the enumeration aliquot was spirally plated using Autoplate 4000 (Spiral Biotech, Norwood, MA) onto CHROMagar E. coli (DRG International, Mountainside, NJ) with no supplemental antimicrobials (CEC), CEC supplemented with 2 mg/liter cefotaxime (CEC ϩ CTX), or CEC supplemented with 32 mg/liter tetracycline (CEC ϩ TET).…”

“…Briefly, 50 l of the enumeration aliquot or an appropriate dilution of the enumeration aliquot was spirally plated using Autoplate 4000 (Spiral Biotech, Norwood, MA) onto CHROMagar E. coli (DRG International, Mountainside, NJ) with no supplemental antimicrobials (CEC), CEC supplemented with 2 mg/liter cefotaxime (CEC ϩ CTX), or CEC supplemented with 32 mg/liter tetracycline (CEC ϩ TET). Antimicrobials were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich Corp., St. Louis, MO, and the antimicrobial concentrations were based on previous reports (19,23,24). Tetracycline was used in agar medium at 32 mg/liter, rather than the 16 mg/liter resistance breakpoint used by the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (25), as in our experience, 16 mg/liter tetracycline in agar medium results in large numbers of false-positive colonies.…”

“…16,17 ARB are ubiquitous in soils and other environments 16,17 and their numbers can be increased by supplying nutrients for growth through fecal deposition. 18,19 Beef cows present an interesting opportunity to study this paradigm. These animals receive many of the same treatments as animals in confined animal feeding operations, but the available nutrients in the excreted manure are spread over a larger land area and may not provide much potential for growth to ARB intrinsic to pasture soils.…”
