Environmental monitoring of bacterial contamination and antibiotic resistance patterns of the fecal coliforms isolated from Cauvery River, a major drinking water source in Karnataka, India

Abstract: The present study focuses prudent elucidation of microbial pollution and antibiotic sensitivity profiling of the fecal coliforms isolated from River Cauvery, a major drinking water source in Karnataka, India. Water samples were collected from ten hotspots during the year 2011-2012. The physiochemical characteristics and microbial count of water samples collected from most of the hotspots exhibited greater biological oxygen demand and bacterial count especially coliforms in comparison with control samples (p ≤ … Show more

“…Moreover, the development and spread of ARGs is also a threat to the ecosystem and human health, and the ARGs will be transferred among different bacteria by various mechanisms and result in antibiotic resistance in the aquatic ecosystems (Marti et al, 2014;Skariyachan et al, 2015). Thus, the environmental risk of these antibiotics needs to be evaluated to understand their adverse effects.…”

“…Antibiotic contamination can cause hazardous effects in aquatic organisms and is a potential risk to the food chain, even at low concentrations (Gao et al, 2012;Bouki et al, 2013). In addition, the overuse and massive discharge of antibiotics has led to the emergence, development and spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which have been classified as one of the three biggest threats to public health in the twenty-first century by the World Health Organization (Rico et al, 2012;Bouki et al, 2013;Marti et al, 2014;Skariyachan et al, 2015). The ARGs have been illustrated in river water, wastewater and recycled water, might be a serious threat to the ecosystem and human health .…”

“…Површинске воде, као што су реке, често садрже велики број патогених микрооргани-зама, чије је присуство, у највећој мери, по-следица деловања људи 5 . Представљајући природно место за отпадне продукте ра-зличитих индустрија, болничких установа и фармацеутских компанија, површинске воде чине повољну средину за пролиферацију фе-калних колиформних бактерија 6,7 . Налаз колиформних бактерија у води (Escherichia coli, Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Citrobacter spp., Serratia spp.)…”
