Plasmid sequence dataset of multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales isolated from hospital effluents and wastewater treatment plant.

We present plasmid sequences of 21 multidrug resistant isolates of Enterobacterales belonging to (n=10), (n=9), (n=1), and (n=1). The isolates originated from effluent collected from hospital sewer pipes and from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in a southwestern Hungarian city. Isolation was carried out using eosin methylene blue agar supplemented with ceftriaxone and the isolates were identified with MALDI-TOF MS.

Occurrence of antibiotics and bacterial resistance genes in wastewater: resistance mechanisms and antimicrobial resistance control approaches.

Antimicrobial pharmaceuticals are classified as emergent micropollutants of concern, implying that even at low concentrations, long-term exposure to the environment can have significant eco-toxicological effects. There is a lack of a standardized regulatory framework governing the permissible antibiotic content for monitoring environmental water quality standards. Therefore, indiscriminate discharge of antimicrobials at potentially active concentrations into urban wastewater treatment facilities is rampant.

Characterization of β-Lactamases and Multidrug Resistance Mechanisms in Enterobacterales from Hospital Effluents and Wastewater Treatment Plant.

Antimicrobials in wastewater promote the emergence of antibiotic resistance, facilitated by selective pressure and transfer of resistant genes. Enteric bacteria belonging to , , , and species ( = 126) from hospital effluents and proximate wastewater treatment plant were assayed for susceptibility to four antimicrobial classes. The β-lactamase encoding genes harbored in plasmids were genotyped and the plasmids were sequenced.

Molecular Characterization of Producing Isolated in Poultry Farms in the United Arab Emirates.

Data on the prevalence of MCR-producing of animal origin are scarce from the Arabian Peninsula. We investigated the presence and variety of such strains from fecal specimens of poultry collected in four farms in the United Arab Emirates. Colonies from ten composite samples per farm grown on colistin-supplemented plates were PCR-screened for alleles of the gene.

: An Underestimated Emerging Pathogen in Hungary?

() is an emerging zoonotic pathogen, demonstrated as an etiological agent in human infections in increasing frequency, including diseases like purulent meningitis, sepsis, uveitis-endophtalmitis and arthritis. Due to the increased availability and utility of novel diagnostic technologies in clinical microbiology, more studies have been published on the epidemiology of , both in veterinary and human medicine; however, there are no comprehensive data available regarding human infections from East-Central European countries. As a part of our study, data were collected from the National Bacteriological Surveillance (NBS) system on patients who had at least one positive microbiological result for corresponding to an 18-year study period (2002-2019).
