摘要: Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are points of control for the environmental dissemination antimicrobial resistant bacteria. Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) were used as indicators resistance (AMR) in two WWTPs (biologically aerated filter (BAF) and conventional activated sludge (CAS)) same municipality. The removal abundance VRE well species profiles assessed. Enterococci from primary final effluents enumerated. Results assessed an ecological context. was not selected by either WWTP but BAF system outperformed CAS enterococci/VRE. Enterococcus faecalis (n = 151), E. faecium 94) casseliflavus/E. gallinarum 59) dominant isolated. A decrease levofloxacin observed WWTP. An increase nitrofurantoin (p < 0.001) a quinupristin/dalfopristin 0.003) streptomycin 0.022) WWTP, corresponding to shift faecium. processes can be managed limit determinants into surrounding environment.
