Biocide resistant and antibiotic cross-resistant potential pathogens from sewage and river water from a wastewater treatment facility in the North-West, Potchefstroom, South Africa
(IWA Publishing, 2019)Exposure to antibiotics, biocides, chemical preservatives, and heavy metals in different settings such as wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) may apply selective pressure resulting in the enrichment of multiple resistant, ... -
Detection and quantification of clinically relevant plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamase genes in aquatic systems
(IWA Publishing, 2020)The extent and impact of plasmid-mediated AmpC beta-lactamase genes (pAmpCs) prevalence in aquatic environments is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to detect and quantify pAmpCs from the aquatic environment. ... -
The prevalence and diversity of AmpC β-lactamase genes in plasmids from aquatic systems
(IWA Publishing, 2018)This study aimed to investigate the presence and diversity of AmpC β-lactamase and integrase genes among DNA (genomic and plasmid) from bacterial populations in selected aquatic systems. Following an enrichment step, DNA ...
