Detection of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the raw and tap water of the Nile River in Dakahlia region, Egypt.

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

“…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. Therefore, careful use of antibiotics should be applied to counteract the rising problem of multidrug resistant P. putida that is both survive tough environments and zoonotic.…”

An integrated framework to develop an efficient valid green (EVG) HPLC method for the assessment of antimicrobial pollutants with potential threats to human health in aquatic systems

“…Water, specifically in rivers, is contaminated by pollution, which renders it futile. 17 Pharmaceuticals and their metabolites reach aquatic environments through numerous pathways, such as illegal dumping, effluent from hospitals and industries, domestic wastewater treatment plants, and diffuse sources, such as the surplus of rural lands. Consequently, widespread contamination of surface waters is caused by veterinary and human pharmaceuticals, 18 which are extensively used by the human healthcare sector and livestock farming.…”
