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.

Drug Resistance of Coliform Bacteria in Hospital and City Sewage [PDF]

Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy, 1973
The number and properties of drug-resistant coliform bacteria in hospital and city sewage were compared. There was little difference in the counts of organisms with nontransferable resistance to one or more of 13 commonly used drugs. An average of 26% of coliforms in hospital waste water had transferable resistance to at least one of the ...
