Principal component analysis exploring the association between antibiotic resistance and heavy metal tolerance of plasmid-bearing sewage wastewater bacteria of clinical relevance

Abstract: This paper unravels the occurrence of plasmid-mediated antibiotic resistance in association with tolerance to heavy metals among clinically relevant bacteria isolated from sewage wastewater. The bacteria isolated were identified following conventional phenotypic and/or molecular methods, and were subjected to multiple-antibiotic resistance (MAR) profiling. The isolates were tested against the heavy metals Hg 2+ , Cd 2+ , Cr 2+ and Cu … Show more

“…Zhang et al., ( 2013 ) carried on PCA and cluster analysis in explaining antibiotic resistance indicators in E. coli isolated from aquaculture, indicating that MAR index defined detailed the antibiotic resistance profile. Mandal et al., ( 2020 ) performed PCA for assessing the resistance profiles and association of heavy metal tolerance and antibiotic resistance of clinically relevant bacteria, grouped into three factors with high total variance.…”

“…The authors have proposed, based on these historical resistance data, potential avenues for the spreading of antimicrobial resistance genes [51]. Mandal et al studied the correlation between the multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) phenotype and heavy metal (Hg 2+ , Cd 2+ , Cr 2+ , and Cu 2+ ) resistance in E. coli and non-fermenting Gram-negative bacteria isolated from sewage wastewater, and found significant correlation between MAR indices and heavy metal tolerance [52].…”

“…This variation in metal tolerance might be due to the presence of different tolerance mechanisms (Irawati et al 2017). B. safensis strain NBRC and L. chromiiresistens strain JG showed the highest heavy metal tolerance and were resistant to heavy metals in the order of Pb > Cr > Co > Ni; they were also resistant to higher concentrations than those recorded by (Mandal et al 2020). Among the investigated heavy metals, iron was the least toxic, whereas cadmium, copper, and zinc were highly toxic to all strains.…”
