Abstract

Water is one of the potential carriers of pathogenic microorganisms and can endanger health and life of humans and animals. About 50% of deaths (4.6 million) in children under 5 years of age occur due to diarrhoeal diseases caused by drinking polluted water. Kudoh and Zen-Yoji Studied 7 outbreaks of diarrhoea caused by Escherichia coli serotype O11 and O159, out of which two outbreaks were caused by contaminated water supply. In India, more than 70% of the epidemic emergencies are either waterborne or water related. Although a substantial amount of work has been carried out on common water-borne pathogens in India, unfortunately only a little information is available on the emerging waterborne pathogens. A regular surveillance of resource and drinking water is one of the major mainstays of containing dreaded and often fatal waterborne diseases.The use of antibiotics to combat these infections is a very common practice. The drug resistance displayed by Escherichia coli is indicative of indiscriminate use of antibiotics. This warrants the initiation of steps to prevent public health hazards. Resistance of Escherichia coli to antibiotics is not only an obstacle for the control of this infection but also poses a great threat to public health through transferable resistance determinant (R-factor) on enteric flora or other enterobacteria in man through direct colonization with resistant bacteria. The aim of the study was to isolate, serogroup and examine the antibiogram of Escherichia coli, present in drinking water sources in Coimbatore.

哥印拜陀饮用水中的产肠毒素大肠杆菌
水是病原微生物的潜在载体之一,可危及人类和动物的健康和生命。约50%的5岁以下儿童死亡(460万)是由于饮用受污染的水引起的腹泻病造成的。Kudoh和Zen-Yoji研究了7起由大肠杆菌血清型O11和O159引起的腹泻暴发,其中2起暴发是由受污染的供水引起的。在印度,70%以上的流行病突发事件要么是水传播的,要么与水有关。虽然印度对常见的水媒病原体开展了大量工作,但不幸的是,关于新出现的水媒病原体的信息很少。对水源和饮用水的定期监测是控制可怕的、往往是致命的水传播疾病的主要支柱之一。使用抗生素来对抗这些感染是一种非常普遍的做法。大肠杆菌显示的耐药性表明滥用抗生素。因此,有必要采取措施,防止危害公众健康。大肠杆菌对抗生素的耐药不仅是控制该感染的障碍,而且还通过耐药菌的直接定植对肠道菌群或其他肠道细菌的可转移耐药决定因素(r因子)对公众健康构成巨大威胁。本研究的目的是分离大肠杆菌,血清组和检查抗生素谱,存在于哥印拜陀饮用水水源。
