Antibiotic Resistance in Aquatic Environmental Isolates of Pseudomonas spp
Keywords:
Aquatic environments, Pseudomonas spp., antibiotic resistance, inducible beta-lactamasesAbstract
Antibiotics constitute natural mechanisms used by bacteria to fulfill defense and signaling functions. However, little is known about antibiotic resistance in the vast majority of bacteria in aquatic environments. In this research, the results of the biochemical identification and the pattern of antibiotic resistance in thirteen environmental isolates from water samples are presented. The isolates were plated on Cetrimide and MacConkey agar to observe the morphological characteristics of the presumptive colonies of Pseudomonas spp.
