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.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
