Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed 430 water samples for contamination by a pathogenic bacterium, finding it in 6.51% of samples, especially in well and spring water.
- No antibiotic resistance was detected in the bacterium across multiple antibiotics, with well water showing the highest sample positivity and drinking water the lowest.
- The study identified several virulence genes present in the bacterium and concluded that water could serve as a source of both contamination and resistance genes, highlighting the need for improved hygiene practices to mitigate these risks.
