This study investigates extended-spectrum beta-lactamase-producing and carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli isolates from Sydney's wastewater. These isolates exhibit resistance to critical antibiotics and harbor novel resistance mechanisms. The findings highlight the importance of wastewater-based surveillance in monitoring resistance beyond the clinical setting.
本研究调查了来自悉尼废水的产超广谱β-内酰胺酶和耐碳青霉烯类大肠埃希菌的分离株。这些分离株对关键抗生素表现出耐药性,并具有新的耐药机制。这些发现强调了基于废水的监测在临床环境之外监测耐药性的重要性。
