Identification and antibiotic resistance of faecal enterococci isolated from water samples

Combined permeable pavement and ground source heat pump systems to treat urban runoff

“…28 The Slanetz and Bartley Agar was designed to favour the growth of faecal Enterococci including E. faecalis, E. faecium, E. avium, E. casseliflavus, E. cecorum, E. durans, E. gallinarum, E. hirae and E. malodoratus. 30 Nutrient Agar is a non-selective growth medium and allows for the growth of a wide variety of oxygen-tolerant genera. The agar promotes the growth of total heterotrophic bacteria which provides information on calculating the percentage of pathogens as part of all bacteria present in bins.…”

Antimicrobial resistance of heterotrophic marine bacteria isolated from seawater and sands of recreational beaches with different organic pollution levels in southeastern Brazil: evidences of resistance dissemination

“…The presence of such microorganisms in recreational seawater, sediments and beach sands affect the quality of these habitats, leading to high risk of beachgoer's health due to waterborne and other illness, as well as to the high resistance that can be showed by these microorganisms to several antimicrobial agents such as antibiotics (Erdem-Kimiran et al 2007;Goni-Urriza et al 2000;Irvensen et al 2004;Meirelles-Pereira et al 2002;Oliveira and Pinhata 2008;Schwartz et al 2003;Tejedor et al 2001).…”

Diversity of enterococcal species and characterization of high-level aminoglycoside resistant enterococci of samples of wastewater and surface water in Tunisia

“…It has been previously suggested that water can contribute to the spread of resistant enterococci (Tejedor Junco et al, 2001). Thus, antibiotic resistant enterococci have been detected in the effluents of the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), in the effluents of hospitals and in raw municipal inflow (Varela et al, 2013), in surface water (Tejedor Junco et al, 2001), in coastal water (Zdragas et al, 2008), in treated wastewater used for irrigation (Ben Said et al, submitted;Beccera-Castro et al, 2015), or in wastewater treatment plant that provide effluent for reuse (Rosenberg Goldstein et al, 2014). Interestingly, one method for rapid and sensitive detection of Enterococcus sp.…”
