Characterization of microbial community and antibiotic resistome in intra urban water, Wenzhou China.

The present study investigated the water quality index, microbial composition and antimicrobial resistance genes in urban water habitats. Combined chemicals testing, metagenomic analyses and qualitative PCR (qPCR) were conducted on 20 locations, including rivers from hospital surrounds ( = 7), community surrounds ( = 7), and natural wetlands ( = 6). Results showed that the indexes of total nitrogen, phosphorus, and ammonia nitrogen of hospital waters were 2-3 folds high than that of water from wetlands.

Molecular Characteristics of Methicillin-Resistant and Susceptible from Pediatric Patients in Eastern China.

is an opportunistic pathogen that causes invasive infections in humans. In recent years, increasing studies have focused on the prevalence of infections in adults; however, the epidemiology and molecular characteristics of from Chinese pediatric patients remain unknown. The present study examined the population structure, antimicrobial resistance, and virulent factors of methicillin-resistant and -susceptible isolated from Chinese pediatric patients from one medical center in eastern China.
