“…Other studies showed faecal coliforms and E. coli in water samples from drinking water supply in Gulshan-e-Iqbal and Orangi Towns of Karachi (Alamgir et al, 2015;Daud et al, 2017;Hussain et al, 2016). In this water, but some strains are linked with fatal human diseases (Gupta et al, 2018). Their presence in water has resulted in the outbreak of waterborne diseases in the people of Karachi (Bhutto et al, 2019).…”

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in drinking water are a major issue for the world.blaNDM-1 confers resistance to carbapenem antibiotics, which is one of the cures for fatal bacterial infections. The study aimed to identify coliform and other bacteria with sul-1, sul-2 and blaNDM-1 ARGs in drinking water. Members of the genera Klebsiella, Serratia, Citrobacter, Pseudomonas, Aeromonas, Acinetobacter and Delftia were identified with Chromocult Coliform Agar, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and gene sequencing. blaNDM-1 genes were present in 7.8% of isolated bacteria. A weak but significant correlation was observed between coliform and TDS/EC/Hardness/Mg +2 / Heterotrophic plate count (HPC). This research is the first study reporting blaNDM-1 in the drinking water of Karachi. This study indicates the biological contamination along with antibiotic-resistant bacteria and genes in drinking water. It highlights the need for continuous monitoring and control of emerging contaminants in urban water supply for protection of public health and ecosystems.
