“…Resistance genetic material transfer from environmental bacteria to commensal microflora may also cause bacterial pathogens to carry antibiotic resistance, complicating disease prevention and treatment (Kummerer, 2004;Levy and Marshall, 2004). High incidences of resistant bacteria in response to antibiotic usage have also been reported in coastal maricultural areas (Herwig et al, 1997).…”

“…This is why many studies have been recently carried out to determine the distribution of antibiotic resistance bacteria in freshwater basins, estuaries, municipal drinking water and sewage waters (Niemi et al, 1983;Calomiris et al, 1984;Jones et al, 1991;Herwig et al, 1997;Ash et al, 2002;Mudryk, 2002). However, relatively very few studies on antibiotic resistance bacteria in marine water (Nair et al, 1992;Mudryk and Skorczewski, 1998) and only very less studies have been undertaken in dynamic ecosystem such as mangrove environment.…”

A study on antibiotic resistance of heterotrophic bacteria and physicochemical characteristics of water and sediment in mangrove environment of Muthupettai, Southeast coast of India was carried out during April 2006 -March 2007. Six stations in and around the mangrove sites were selected for sampling and the following parameters were recorded at monthly intervals temperature, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen, nitrite, nitrate, total nitrogen, inorganic phosphate, total phosphorus, ammonia, silicate and total organic carbon. The levels of resistance of bacterial to various antibiotics differed considerably. Antibiotic resistance heterotrophic bacteria strains (six hundred and eighty) were isolated from mangrove environment and identified. Bacteria which inhabiting an aquaculture pond area of the mangrove and the station 2 were most resistant; the least resistant bacteria were isolated from the station 6, i.e., open sea. Generally, there was no significant difference in antibiotic resistance between pigmented and non-pigmented bacteria. When compared to nutrient distribution, water nutrients were consistently higher in the mangrove environment. Partially treated aquaculture waste water is having additional sources of nutrients. Although, the mangrove habitat has been demonstrated to possess self-cleaning properties, data obtained warms possible anthropogenic pollution in the mangrove area in near future if the present conditions prevailed for a long period.

“…According to Herwig et al (1997) and MeirellesPereira et al (2002) multiple resistance may be coded on plasmids and mobile genetic elements called transposons. The present study also showed multiple antibiotic resistance of planktonic and benthic Staphylococcus-like strains.…”

“…The resistance of bacteria to β-lactam antibiotics is due to their ability to synthesize three extracellular enzymes: β-lactamase, acylase and penicillinase, which hydrolyze the amide bond of the β-lactam ring in β-lactam antibiotics (Saavedra et al 2004). These biocatalysts reduce the permeability of the cytoplasmic membrane to those antibiotics or transform these compounds by hydrolysis of the β-lactam bond into antibiotically inactive penicilloic acid (Herwig et al 1997).…”

Antibiotic resistance of Staphylococcus-like organisms (STLO) isolated from a recreational sea beach located on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea was studied. The results of the present study showed that STLO inhabiting sand and seawater of the beach strongly differed in the resistance level to tested antibiotics. These microorganisms were most resistant to ampicillin, penicillin, oxytetracycline and susceptible to gentamicin, neomycin and streptomycin. Moreover, the level of antibiotic resistance among bacteria isolated from different parts of the beach also differed. Bacteria inhabiting the seawater, shoreline and the middle part of the beach were more antibioticresistant than bacteria isolated from the dune. The majority of bacteria inhabiting the seawater and sand were resistant to 3-8 antibiotics out of 12 tested in this study. Generally, there was no difference in antibiotic resistance between Staphylococcus-like

“…Consequently, a large portion of feeds and antibiotics enters the water as wastes, causing water pollution (Le et al, 2003). Several studies have demonstrated the presence of antibacterial residues in fish farms (Weston, 1996;Capone et al, 1996;Herwig et al, 1997). Recent studies have shown that many antibiotics persist in the sediment and in the aquatic environment for several months following administration (Bjorklund et al, 1991;Lai et al, 1995;Pouliquen & Le, 1996;Hirsch et al, 1999;Miranda & Zemelman, 2002).The residues of antibacterial agents may affect the sedimentary microbial community and introduce antibiotic resistance in the bacteria (Hektoen et al, 1995;Tendencia & Dela Pena, 2002).…”
