Emergence of Multidrug-resistance Bacteria Isolated of Drinking Water, Groundwater and Hospital Wastewater in Southern Benin: Antibiotic Resistance Profile and Resistomes Determination
Abstract:Background: The environment plays an important role in the dissemination of multidrug resistant bacteria, especially through the aquatic ecosystem, which is made up of liquid hospital effluents, rivers, but also spring water and drinking water. This study aims to determinate resistomes in some aquatic matrices in southern Benin.Methods: These samples were filtered through a membrane 0.22 µm thick. After filtration, the membrane was deposited on Muëller Hinton agar. Then the colonies resulting from this subcult… Show more
