Abstract
The effect of wastewater treatment plants in Pushchino, Russia, on abundance of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms and determinants of multiple drug resistance in the Oka River water and sediments was investigated. Treated wastewater was found to contribute to contamination of the Oka surface water layer with aminoglycoside-resistant strains. The role of Pushchino waste treatment plants in the dissemination of multidrug-resistant strains and plasmids of the A/C incompatibility groups (IncA/C) was demonstrated. Waste treatment plants were shown to affect both the total abundance of eubacteria in sediments and their composition, increasing the relative abundance of pseudomonads.
