“…The MICs of these strains ranged from 16 to 32 μg/ ml, with the exception of one isolate, which had an MIC greater than 32 μg/ml. In Japan, 8.3% to 21.5% of IPM-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates were recovered from hospitals (17)(18)(19)(20). These IPM-resistant P. aeruginosa isolates were recovered from the urinary tract, skin and the respiratory tract (18)(19)(20).…”

Objectives: The demand for mobile bathing service (MBS) is increasing in the Japanese society. Therefore, we assessed the risk of MBS-associated infection in MBS clients and their caregivers by examining the bacterial colonization of MBS equipment and utensils.Methods: Bacterial isolates collected by the stamp agar culture method were examined by disk diffusion assay for their susceptibility to the following drugs: imipenem, ciprofloxacin, amikacin, azutreonam, ceftazidim, meropenem, piperacillin, tobramycin, ofloxacin and cefoperazone. Furthermore, these isolates were subtyped by SpeI-pulsed field gel electrophoresis (SpeI-PFGE).Results: Fifty-four P. aeruginosa isolates were recovered from different sampling sites, and of these, 26 (47.3%) were isolated from pillows. Eighteen isolates (33.3%) were imipenem (IPM) resistant. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 17 isolates were between 16 and 32 μg/ml, and the MIC of one isolate was greater than 32 μg/ml. The SpeI-PFGE typing of IPM-resistant isolates revealed that 13 of the 18 isolates were closely related (F=1.0-0.87).Conclusion: Our findings suggest that MBS equipment and utensils, particularly pillows, are the primary sources of bacterial contamination and transmission and that there is a risk of MBS-mediated infection among MBS clients and their caregivers.

“…areuginosa is highly ubiquitous in water system and capable to acquire antibiotic resistance due to its low outer membrane permeability and extensive efflux pump system [6]- [8]. The overall prevalence of antibiotic resistant P. aeruginosa is increasing, with up to 10% of global isolates found to be multi-drug resistance [9].…”

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most common pathogenic bacteria, frequently found in different environmental samples. The prevalence of multidrug resistant isolates has become an alarming concern for both patients and their surroundings. The present study was carried out to record prevalence of P. aeruginosa in surface water of Dhaka city and to screen their antibiotic resistance pattern. The study was also extended to typing of resistant isolates according to extended spectrum beta lactamase production. Hereby, Kirby-Bauer method was applied to test antibiotic sensitivity according to Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Then, the Ampicillin resistant isolates were screened for ESBL production by Double Disk Synergy Test (DDST). In these prospects, 52 water samples were tested, of which 32 were found positive for P. aeruginosa isolates. Hundred percent of the positive isolates were found to Ampicillin (AMP) resistant followed by 93.7% to both Tetracycline and Gentamycin and 71.8% to Co-triimoxazole. P. aeruginosa is completely susceptible to third generation antibiotics ciprofloxacin, Imipenem and Aztreonam followed by moderately susceptible to Polymyxin-B (78.2%) and Colistin (87.5%). According to DDST, all of the susceptible isolates were found positive for AMC type beta-lactamase production. It is evident from this study that the surface water is contaminated with antibiotic resistant P. aeruginosa and that through the water systems antibiotic resistance can be transferred to humans and animals. So, appropriate and rationale use of antibiotic should be applied to minimize the emergence of multidrug isolates to environment. M. Nasreen et al.75

“…The water pools may be contaminated with Pseudomonas by swimmers or natural contamination. Pseudomonas is resistant to sodium hypochlorite that used for disinfecting pools, and it is considered to be an opportunistic microorganism involved in the urinary tract, wound, sepsis and bed sores infections (17,25,26). That is able to grow in moist, warm conditions with low levels of organic nutrients.…”

ÖZAmaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı kapalı yüzme havuzlarının fiziksel, kimyasal ve mikrobiyolojik kirlenmelerini araştırmaktır. Yöntemler: Havuz suyu örnekleri plastik polipropilen sterilize edilmiş bir şişe kullanılarak toplandı. Suların fiziksel ve kimyasal özellikleri, suyun incelenmesinde kullanılan standart yöntemler ile sıcaklık, bulanıklık, pH ve serbest artık klor açısından analiz edildi. Havuz sularında bakteriyolojik (rutin yöntemler) ve parazitolojik (moleküler yöntemler) çalışmalar yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Kapalı havuzların sıcaklık, pH ve artık klor ortalamaları sırasıyla 31,2 °C, 7,6 ve 1,5 mg/L idi. Havuzların hiçbirinde bulanıklık gözlenmedi. PH ve sıcaklık değerleri yüzme havuzlarının sırasıyla %92,3 ve %15,4'ünde istenilen aralıktaydı. Yüzme havuzlarında suyun bakteriyel ve amipli kirlenme sıklığı sırasıyla %53,8 ve %46,2'dir. Bir havuz (%7,7) hem bakteri hem de amip ile kirlenmiştir. Streptococcus viridans, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas stutzeri, Cryptosporidium spp. ve Bacillus spp. havuz sularından izole edilmiştir. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada, su havuzlarından bazı mikroorganizmalar tanımlanmıştır. Yüzme havuzlarının etkin yönetimi ve su havuzlarının fiziksel, kimyasal ve mikrobiyolojik özelliklerinin uygun şekilde kontrolü sağlıklı rekreasyon aktivitesini sağlayabilir.Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the physical, chemical and microbiological contamination of indoor swimming pools.Methods: Pool water specimens were collected using a plastic polypropylene sterilized bottle. The physical and chemical qualities of the waters were analyzed in terms of temperature, turbidity, pH, and free residual chlorine, with the standard methods for the examination of water. Bacteriological (routine methods) and parasitological (molecular methods) tests were carried out on pools water. Results:The mean temperature, pH, and residual chlorine of the indoor pools were 31.2 °C, 7.6 and 1.5 mg/L, respectively.Turbidity was not observed in any of the pools. The pH and temperature values were in standard ranges in 92.3% and 15.4% of the waters of swimming pools, respectively. The prevalence rates of bacterial and amoebic contaminations of the water in the swimming pools were 53.8% and 46.2%, respectively. One pool (7.7%) was contaminated with both bacteria and amoeba. Streptococcus viridans, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas stutzeri, Cryptosporidium and Bacillus spp. were isolated from the pool waters. Conclusion:In this study, some microorganisms were identified from the water pools. Effective management of swimming pools and proper control of the physical, chemical and microbiological property of water pools can produce the healthy recreational activity.
