Carbapenemase and ESBL genes with class 1 integron among fermenting and nonfermenting bacteria isolated from water sources from India

Occurrence of the genes encoding carbapenemases, ESBLs and class 1 integron‐integrase among fermenting and non‐fermenting bacteria from retail goat meat

“…A single bacterium can acquire several plasmids from multiple donors in different environmental conditions, and thus, poses serious risks to public health. The similar features of plasmids among bacteria from environmental sources have been reported earlier (Kumarasamy et al 2010;Singh et al 2020).…”

Elucidating the resistance repertoire, biofilm production, and phylogenetic characteristics of multidrug‐resistant Escherichia coli isolated from community ponds: A study from West Bengal, India

“…A recent study revealed higher frequency of bla TEM (63%) and bla CTXM (87%) genes among the E. coli strains isolated from hospital wastewater (Chandran et al, 2014). Such predominance of β‐lactamases among Enterobacteriaceae was also reported earlier in water (Singh et al, 2020) and cloacal swab samples from ducks, the frequent dwellers of community ponds, reared in organized and backyard farms (Banerjee et al, 2019).…”

“…Thus, the prevalence of MDR E. coli in closed water bodies observed in this study may have a potential implication on public health, livestock, and wild birds as well. In fact, water is considered as an important vehicle for the transmission of pathogenic E. coli to animals and human (Preena et al, 2020; Singh et al, 2020). These pathogenic E. coli of environmental origin contributes significantly to the burden of infectious diseases in those parts of the world where enteric diseases are endemic (Halder et al, 2018).…”

Spatiotemporal Distribution of Antimicrobial Resistant Organisms in Different Water Environments in Urban and Rural Settings of Bangladesh

“…The occurrence of MDR organisms, resistance genes, and antibiotic residues in surface water bodies is well established outside Bangladesh, among similar settings in Asia (O'Flaherty and Cummins, 2017;Qiao et al, 2018;Waseem et al, 2018;Zhang et al, 2019;Singh et al, 2019;Reddy and Dubey, 2019;Ahammad et al, 2014). Natural flow of untreated wastewater into surface water bodies including rivers, lakes or canals is commonly observed in many LMICs and is likely a key driver of environmental transmission of clinically important antibiotic resistant organisms (Rabbani et al, 2017;Karkman et al, 2017;Islam et al, 2017).…”
