Carbapenemase-producing bacteria cause difficult-to-treat infections related to increased mortality in health care settings. Their occurrence has been reported in raw sewage, sewage-impacted rivers, and polluted coastal waters, which may indicate their spread to the community. We assessed the variety and concentration of carbapenemase producers in coastal waters with distinct pollution levels for 1 year. We describe various bacterial species producing distinct carbapenemases not only in unsuitable waters but also in waters considered suitable for primary contact.
产碳青霉烯酶的细菌会导致在医疗环境中与死亡率增加相关的难以治疗的感染。它们已经在未经处理的污水、受污水影响的河流和受污染的沿海水域中被报告，这可能表明它们已经传播到了社区。我们评估了 1 年来不同污染水平的沿海水域中产碳青霉烯酶生产者的种类和浓度。我们描述了各种不同的细菌物种，它们不仅在不适宜的水中，而且在被认为适合初级接触的水中产生不同的碳青霉烯酶。
