“…Gastrointestinal diseases linked to fresh produce has been associated with members of the family Enterobacteriaceae, most especially Citrobacter species [ 50 , 51 ]. The findings from the current study agree with the findings by [ 47 , 52 ] who reported that fresh produce has increasingly become recognized not only as significant reservoirs of foodborne pathogens but also for opportunistic pathogens. Opportunistic pathogens are mainly associated with nosocomial infections in immune-compromised and multi antibiotic-resistance [ 53 , 54 ].…”

“…Citrobacter is mainly distributed in water, soil, and food. It is a common flora in humans and animals, and it is also an opportunistic pathogen [45]. When the body's resistance is reduced, it can cause a series of infections involving the body's intestine, respiratory tract, and blood.…”

As the largest freshwater river flowing through Harbin, the Songhua River is a standby water source. It is very important to know the species and distribution of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) in the river. In this study, five antibiotics were selected to screen and identify ARB in spring and autumn. The results showed that the concentration of cefotaxime-resistant bacteria was the highest, and the maximum concentration at S6 in spring was up to 1.40 × 104 CFU/mL. In spring and autumn, bacteria resistant to three antibiotics were screened at S1 of the Songhua River, and bacteria resistant to five antibiotics were screened at S6. No multiple antibiotic-resistant bacteria (MARB) were screened in the other four sites in autumn, while MARB were screened in the other three samples except S2 in spring. In all sample areas in spring and autumn, the probability of screening MARB at S1 and S6 was the highest, reaching 100%. The identification results of 16S rDNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products of ARB showed that a total of 51 ARB strains from 15 bacterial genera were screened in the Songhua River, of which 20 ARB strains were from Pseudomonas. Among the 15 bacterial genera, bacteria from 8 bacterial genera have pathogenicity. The results of this study revealed the concentration, spatial distribution, and seasonal variation of culturable ARB in the Songhua River, providing data support for the remediation of antibiotic resistance gene (ARG) pollution in the river.

“…Vegetables are commonly exposed to microbial contamination due to contact with soil, dust, untreated irrigation water, and handling during harvesting and postharvest processing ( 1 ). Citrobacter species are among the bacteria that have been found in vegetables ( 2 ). The widespread and improper use of antimicrobial agents has led to the rise of antimicrobial resistance and multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria, including Citrobacter species ( 3 , 4 ).…”
