Tertiary hospital sewage as reservoir of bacteria expressing MDR phenotype in Brazil [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2021
High doses of antibiotics used in hospitals can affect the microbial composition of sewers, selecting resistant bacteria. In this sense, we evaluated the antibiotic resistance profile and the multiresistant phenotype of bacteria isolated in sewage from a

Hospital sewage in Brazil: a reservoir of multidrug-resistant carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
The One Health concept recognizes that human health is clearly linked to the health of animals and the environment. Infections caused by bacteria resistant to carbapenem antibiotics have become a major challenge in hospitals due to limited therapeutic ...

Population Screening Using Sewage Reveals Pan-Resistant Bacteria in Hospital and Community Samples.

PLoS ONE, 2016
The presence of pan-resistant bacteria worldwide possesses a threat to global health. It is difficult to evaluate the extent of carriage of resistant bacteria in the population. Sewage sampling is a possible way to monitor populations.

Hospital sewage treatment facilities witness the fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic. [PDF]

J Environ Manage, 2022
Real-time evaluation of the fighting activities during a sudden unknown disaster like the COVID-19 pandemic is a critical challenge for control. This study demonstrates that the temporal variations of effluents from hospital sewage treatment facilities can be used as an effective indicator for such evaluation.

Emergence of Tigecycline-Resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Harbouring tmexC6D6-toprJ1b From Hospital Sewage in Japan. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
This study isolated a Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain (KAM950) carrying the tmexCD‐toprJ gene cluster from hospital sewage in Japan. The strain exhibited reduced susceptibility to tigecycline and carbapenems, harboured chromosomal tmexC6D6‐toprJ1b and oprD disruption, and belonged to epidemic clone ST244, emphasising emerging multidrug resistance and the

Multidrug Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST101 Clone Survival Chain From Inpatients to Hospital Effluent After Chlorine Treatment

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
In this paper we describe the transmission of a multi-drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae ST101 clone from hospital to wastewater and its persistence after chlorine treatment.

An NDM-1-Producing Acinetobacter towneri Isolate from Hospital Sewage in China. [PDF]

Infect Drug Resist, 2020
The New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1 (NDM-1)-positive plasmid and its variants pose daunting threats to public health. Hospital sewage was considered as an important reservoir of antibiotic genes. Numerous and diverse taxa of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria carrying NDM-1-positive plasmids have been identified during routine surveillance of hospital ...

Coexistence of tmexCD3-toprJ1b tigecycline resistance genes with two novel blaVIM-2-carrying and blaOXA-10-carrying transposons in a Pseudomononas asiatica plasmid

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionTigecycline and carbapenems are considered the last line of defense against microbial infections. The co-occurrence of resistance genes conferring resistance to both tigecycline and carbapenems in Pseudomononas asiatica was not investigated ...

Diversity of bacteria carrying antibiotic resistance genes in hospital raw sewage in Southeastern Brazil

Water Science and Technology, 2023
In recent decades, antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) emerged and spread among humans and animals worldwide. In this study, we evaluated the presence of ARB and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in the raw sewage of two hospitals in Brazil.

Multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae isolated from hospital sewage flowing through community sewage system and discharging into the Indian Ocean

Bulletin of the National Research Centre, 2023
Background Hospital sewage is a significant reservoir of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens and genes that pose a huge public health threat. In this study, we determined the occurrence of multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in ...
