Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are significant source of antibiotic resistant bacteria (ARB) and resistance genes (ARGs), which can spread further in the environment by reaching rivers together with effluents discharged from WWTPs. In this study untreated treated wastewater (UWW, TWW), upstream downstream river water (URW, DRW) were collected 4 WWTPs, winter autumn seasons. The occurrence ARB to beta-lactams tetracyclines as well presence antibiotics these classes analysed samples....
Conventional mechanical and biological wastewater treatment is unable to completely eliminate all pollutants, which can therefore enter surface water bodies together with treated wastewater. In addition, bioaerosols produced during pose a threat the health of plant staff. order control impact (WWTP) on surrounding environment, including its employees, samples from river received were analysed in terms their content antibiotics heavy metals, levels selected physiochemical parameters,...
The aim of this study was to determine the effect activated sludge process on abundance anaerobic bacteria phylum Bacteroidetes, with special emphasis Bacteroides fragilis group (BFG) bacteria, in twelve full-scale wastewater treatment plants. composition bacterial phyla and classes samples were analyzed by next-generation sequencing. presence specific BFG genes ARGs encoding class 1 integrase determined qPCR. Proteobacteria, Firmicutes, Actinobacteria Bacteroidetes dominant samples....
The spread of antibiotic resistance is closely related with selective pressure in the environment. Wastewater from industrialized regions characterized by higher concentrations these pollutants than sewage less areas. aim this study was to compare contaminants such as antibiotics and heavy metals (HMs), evaluate their impact on genes encoding antimicrobial drugs samples wastewater, sludge river water two different levels industrialization. factors exerting pressure, which significantly...
Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are fully synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial agents that becoming increasingly popular in the treatment of clinical and veterinary infections. Being excreted during treatment, mostly as active compounds, their biological action is not limited to therapeutic site, but it moved further resistance selection pressure into environment. Water environment an ideal medium for aggregation dissemination antibiotics, antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB), antibiotic genes...
The effects of five towns on river water pollution were examined along the Łyna River (southern watershed Baltic Sea, northern Poland). relationships among spatially derived indicators urbanization, environmental variables, and physico-chemical microbiological data (heterotrophic plate count at 22 37 °C, fecal coli) obtained from longitudinal profiling have been with use multivariate analyses such as principal component analysis factor (PCA/FA) hierarchical cluster (HCA). We recognized...
Drug-resistant and pathogenic Staphylococcus spp. strains can reach surface waters air with wastewater evacuated to the environment. These increase environmental pool of genetic determinants conferring antibiotic resistance virulence, constitute a health risk for employees treatment plants (WWTP) who come into daily contact bioaerosols. The aim this study was identify drug virulence in isolated from untreated (UWW) treated (TWW), an activated sludge (AS) bioreactor, river water collected...
Anaerobic bacteria of the genus Bacteroides are a large group commensal microorganisms that colonize human and animal digestive tract. The closely related Parabacteroides include fragilis (BFG) potentially pathogenic which frequently isolated from patients with anaerobic infections. aim this study was to assess antimicrobial resistance environmental strains group. Strains were feces, hospital wastewater, influent (UWW) effluent (TWW) wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), feces lab rats as...
Abstract Pharmaceutical residues, mainly antibiotics, have been called “emerging contaminants” in the environment because of their increasing frequency detection aquatic and terrestrial systems sublethal ecological effects. Most them are undiscovered. Both human veterinary pharmaceuticals, including introduced into via many different routes, discharges from municipal wastewater treatment plants land application animal manure biosolids to fertilize croplands. To gain a comprehensive...
In this study, a screening of 26 selected antimicrobials using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry method in two Polish wastewater treatment plants and their receiving surface waters was provided. The highest average concentrations metronidazole (7400 ng/L), ciprofloxacin (4300 vancomycin (3200 sulfamethoxazole (3000 ng/L) were observed influent WWTP2. Ciprofloxacin the most dominant effluent both WWTPs. sludge samples mean found for (up 28 μg/g) norfloxacin 5.3 μg/g)....
The aim of this study was to analyze the prevalence carbapenem resistance genes in Acinetobacter spp. isolated from wastewater a municipal WWTP and determine their spread treated river water with use conventional molecular microbiology methods (qualitative quantitative PCR metagenomic analysis). Samples untreated samples obtained upstream downstream discharge point were collected 3 seasons (February, June, September) 2019. isolates by culture method on CHROMagar™ medium. Additionally,...
Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are an important reservoir in the development of drug resistance phenomenon and they provide a potential route antibiotic gene (ARGs) dissemination environment. The aim this study was to assess role WWTPs spread ARGs. Untreated treated wastewater samples that were collected from thirteen Polish (applying four different modifications activated sludge–based technology) analyzed. quantitative occurrence genes responsible for beta-lactams tetracyclines...
