Effect of Two Types of Wastewater Treatment Plants on Antibiotic Resistance of Fecal Coliform
2024
Overview
The existence of fecal coliform microorganisms (FCs) resistant to antibiotics in the domestic wastewater of an urban and semi-urban locality was determined, along with the effect of two types of treatment plants for wastewater on the resistance of coliform, an aerated lagoon (AL) and a stabilization lagoon (SL). Samples were taken from the affluent and effluent of each treatment plant. FC content, pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, total solids, total volatile solids, and several types of ions were determined. Resistant FCs were quantified by plate count in bright green bile agar with ampicillin, amoxicillin, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, amikacin, gentamicin, cefixime and their mixtures. The isolated strains were evaluated against other antibiotics using antibiograms. The relationship between the variables was validated with an analysis of variance factorial design, and Fisher’s means test (α = 0.05) and Pearson’s correlation were used to establish it. The community that presented more resistant FCs was the urban one, but when the wastewater passed through the systems of AL and SL, this fact changed. The resistance of the FCs to ampicillin, amoxicillin, trimethoprim, sulfamethoxazole and cefixime was higher in the SL, with values of 67, 48, 2 and 25.8%, while those for the AL were 20, 13, 22 and 5.3%, respectively.
