Characterization of macrolide resistance in bacteria isolated from macrolide-polluted and unpolluted river sediments and clinical sources in Croatia
Original language description
Environments polluted with excessively high levels of antibiotics released from manufacturing sites can act as a source of transferable antibiotic resistance (AR) genes to human commensal and pathogenic bacteria. The aim of this study was to evaluate AR of bacteria isolated from the Sava river sediments (Croatia) at the discharge site of effluents from azithromycin production compared to those from the upstream site and isolates collected in Croatian hospitals. A total of 228 environmental strains of azithromycin-resistant bacteria were isolated and identified, with 124 from the discharge site and 104 from the upstream site. In addition, a total of 90 clinical, azithromycin-resistant streptococcal and staphylococcal isolates obtained from the Croatian Reference Center for Antibiotic Resistance Surveillance were analyzed. PCR screening of isolates on 11 relevant macrolide-resistance genes (MRGs) showed that discharge isolates had greater detection frequencies for 4 gene targets (ermB, msrE, mphE and e
