“…While the current information on drug resistant bacteria in recreational waters specifically is limited (Fang et al, 2018), several studies have assessed this situation in natural lakes which might be used for human activities. In contrast to our study which reported low rates of resistance to most antibiotics apart from pefloxacin, some other studies reported rates of resistance greater than 50% (Yin et al, 2013, Akanbi et al, 2017, Turetken et al, 2019.…”

Bacteriological analysis of a Recreational Park Pond in Port Harcourt was investigated to evaluate the water quality of the pond for recreational purposes. Samples collected from the pond were evaluated for physiochemical and bacteriological study. pH showed a slight alkaline range of 6.66 − 6.94 in sample A and D with a temperature range of 28.6 − 29 o C. Samples evaluated for turbidity and salinity showed values of 0.309 − 0.784 NTU and 0.10ppt to 0.32ppt respectively. Similar bacteriological load ranging from 6.9 × 10 5 cfu/ml − 2.1 × 10 6 cfu/ml was observed, with coliform counts ranging from 3.4 × 10 5 − 1.3×10 6 cfu/ml. Thirteen different bacterial genera were identified in total (Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Proteus spp., Citrobacter spp., Klebsiella spp, Bacillus spp., Serratia spp., Pseudomonas spp., Vibrio spp., Enterobacter spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus spp., and Staphylococcus spp). Escherichia coli was the most commonly occurring group (14.7%) and Staphylococcus sp the least occurring (2.9%). Varying levels of resistance was noted against the 14 antibiotics tested, with the highest resistance noted against pefloxacin (55.9%) while the lowest resistance was against erythromycin (2.9%). Majority of isolates (67.7%) however had MAR index values less than 0.21, indicative of a source related to low antibiotic use. Despite the association of potentially pathogenic bacteria with this water body, the low level of drug resistance associated with these organisms as well as the MAR index values, could point at these being environmental rather than human strains. Further molecular studies would be advised to confirm this.

“…Researchers have found that the int I in natural water such as the river has a high correlation with antibiotic resistance genes detection rate and a low correlation in the wastewater treatment plant (Ma et al 2017). Although suspended substances in water were not detected in this study, suspended substances in landscape water, such as algae and micro plastics, might influence the spread of antibiotic resistance genes together with integron (Fang et al 2018a(Fang et al , 2018b. The test of int I detection rate more than 90%, it is highly possible that rainfall also led to a increase in the content of integrons in lake, leading to the difference in the major antibiotic resistance genes in the 2 lakes, which is similar to some studies (Chen et al 2019), and the detailed reasons need to be further studied.…”

The distribution characteristics of ARB and ARGs in urban recreational water from different water supply sources might be different. In this study, water samples were collected to detect the antibiotic resistance of heterotrophic bacteria to five antibiotics, and the content, phenotype, gene type and species distribution of resistant bacteria were analyzed. The results showed that the changes of bacteria resistance rate in 2 lakes to 5 kinds of antibiotics were synchronous with time, and it would reach its maximum in autumn. The detection of ARGs and int I in 80 resistance strains showed that the detection rate of tetG, tetA and int I was high. 51.25% of the bacteria were double-resistance to AMP-CTX. The 80 isolate strains were of 9 genera and 19 species, among which Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Aeromonas veronii, Aeromonas caviae and Raoultella ornithinolytica were the common ARB species in 2 lakes. Correlation analysis showed that the water temperature was significantly correlated with the content of ARB in SMZ and CTX (p < 0.05), and the TP in FQ lake was significantly correlated with the content of AMP resistant bacteria (p < 0.05), while there were no other correlations between the changes of other water quality indexes and the content of ARB (p > 0.05).

Conventional microbiological water monitoring uses culture-dependent techniques to screen indicator microbial species such as Escherichia coli and fecal coliforms. With high-throughput, second-generation sequencing technologies becoming less expensive, water quality monitoring programs can now leverage the massively parallel nature of second-generation sequencing technologies for batch sample processing to simultaneously obtain compositional and functional information of culturable and as yet uncultured microbial organisms. This review provides an introduction to the technical capabilities and considerations necessary for the use of second-generation sequencing technologies, specifically 16S rDNA amplicon and whole-metagenome sequencing, to investigate the composition and functional potential of microbiomes found in water and wastewater systems.
