Abstract
Groundwater, rainwater, and leachate associated with a single landfill were analysed to detect extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing and carbapenemase (CP)-producing bacteria. After cultivation on three commercial selective-differential media, 240 bacterial isolates were obtained and identified by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Isolates from clinically relevant species were further genotyped by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus polymerase chain reaction, and tested for antibiotic susceptibility and presence of CPs and ESBL enzymes. Two ESBL-producing isolates and two isolates producing CPs were detected in rainwater, groundwater, and leachate: Klebsiella oxytoca complex with the gene for the ESBL enzyme CTX-M-1 and the gene for the CP OXA-48, Serratia fonticola with the gene for the ESBL enzyme FONA-2, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa with the gene coding Verona integron-encoded Metallo-beta-lactamases (VIM) metallo-beta-lactamase. Our study indicates that bacteria with ESBL and CP genes can be present in landfill-associated waters.
期刊介绍:
FEMS Microbiology Letters gives priority to concise papers that merit rapid publication by virtue of their originality, general interest and contribution to new developments in microbiology. All aspects of microbiology, including virology, are covered.
2019 Impact Factor: 1.987, Journal Citation Reports (Source Clarivate, 2020)
Ranking: 98/135 (Microbiology)
The journal is divided into eight Sections:
Physiology and Biochemistry (including genetics, molecular biology and ‘omic’ studies)
Food Microbiology (from food production and biotechnology to spoilage and food borne pathogens)
Biotechnology and Synthetic Biology
Pathogens and Pathogenicity (including medical, veterinary, plant and insect pathogens – particularly those relating to food security – with the exception of viruses)
Environmental Microbiology (including ecophysiology, ecogenomics and meta-omic studies)
Virology (viruses infecting any organism, including Bacteria and Archaea)
Taxonomy and Systematics (for publication of novel taxa, taxonomic reclassifications and reviews of a taxonomic nature)
Professional Development (including education, training, CPD, research assessment frameworks, research and publication metrics, best-practice, careers and history of microbiology)
If you are unsure which Section is most appropriate for your manuscript, for example in the case of transdisciplinary studies, we recommend that you contact the Editor-In-Chief by email prior to submission. Our scope includes any type of microorganism - all members of the Bacteria and the Archaea and microbial members of the Eukarya (yeasts, filamentous fungi, microbial algae, protozoa, oomycetes, myxomycetes, etc.) as well as all viruses.
