Abstract
Infection with multidrug resistant bacteria is a significant public health concern. Bacteria culture of water samples (n=120) collected in San Cristobal River, Philippines, showed that half (n=60) were positive for Salmonella spp. Screening of all isolates (n=179) for susceptibility to antibiotics showed that most (76.4%; n=113) were positive for class 1 integrons, of which one isolate was also positive for the class 2 integron. The presence of class 1 integrons was associated with resistance to antibiotics (p<0.05). Sequencing of class 1 integron variable regions (VRs) differeciated 11 gene cassettes: dfrA1 or dfrA17; aadA1 or aadA2; blaCTX-M-2 or bla-OXA-1; SmdAB; CmlA1 and aaC 3-Id. However, sequencing of class 2 integron VR differenciated estX, sat2, and aadA1. These results provide insights into evolutionary changes within bacterial multidrug resistant cassettes, more accurately to estimate heath risk associated with the river water. .
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Environmental Health Research ( IJEHR ) is devoted to the rapid publication of research in environmental health, acting as a link between the diverse research communities and practitioners in environmental health. Published articles encompass original research papers, technical notes and review articles. IJEHR publishes articles on all aspects of the interaction between the environment and human health. This interaction can broadly be divided into three areas: the natural environment and health – health implications and monitoring of air, water and soil pollutants and pollution and health improvements and air, water and soil quality standards; the built environment and health – occupational health and safety, exposure limits, monitoring and control of pollutants in the workplace, and standards of health; and communicable diseases – disease spread, control and prevention, food hygiene and control, and health aspects of rodents and insects. IJEHR is published in association with the International Federation of Environmental Health and includes news from the Federation of international meetings, courses and environmental health issues.
