Antibiogram profile and virulence signatures of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolates recovered from selected agrestic hospital effluents

Q. Mapipa et al.

Summary: This study isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa from selected hospital effluents in Eastern Cape, South Africa, and analyzed their antibiotic susceptibility and virulence signatures. The majority of isolates showed high sensitivity to antibiotics, but some strains displayed multiple antibiotic resistance, posing a potential risk to public health.

Virulence and Antibiotic Resistance Characteristics of Vibrio Isolates From Rustic Environmental Freshwaters

Oyama Gxalo et al.

Summary: The study revealed the presence of antimicrobial resistance genes and virulent Vibrio species in aquatic environments, which pose potential risks to human and animal health. Antibiotic resistance was prevalent, with most isolates showing high levels of resistance to multiple antibiotics. Various virulence and resistance genes were detected in different Vibrio species isolated from freshwater sheds in rustic areas.
