- W2980913282 abstract "Abstract Background Wastewaters from hospitals, laboratories and clinical settings usually contain hazardous chemicals, including antimicrobials, which could trigger the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. The aim of this study was to isolate Coagulase Negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) from untreated wastewater of two healthcare facilities, and detect the presence of methicillin-resistance genes in the isolates showing resistance to methicillin. Methods Staphylococcus spp. were isolated from wastewaters of two hospitals (private and state hospitals) on Mannitol Salt agar and characterized using conventional methods. Antibiotics susceptibility was performed using the disc diffusion technique. Detection of mecA, mecB and mecC was carried out using PCR technique. Results A total of fifty-six (56) non-duplicated isolates were obtained from the hospital wastewater (HWW), of which thirty-one (31) were coagulase negative: [S. epidermidis (22) and S. saprophyticus (9)]. 77.4% of the CoNS were phenotypically resistant to oxacillin, 25.8% showed resistance each to tetracycline and erythromycin, while 16.1% were resistant to vancomycin and ciprofloxacin respectively. 45.2% showed resistance to sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, 12.9% to linezolid, 41.9% to clindamycin and 32.3% were resistant to chloramphenicol. None of the CoNS was resistant to gentamicin. mecB and mecC were not detected in any of the isolates, while mecA was detected in seven of the isolates. Conclusion Wastewater from the two hospitals studied is a potential hub of methicillin-resistance gene (mecA) and this has underlined the need for treatment of HWW before disposal, as they could pose a danger to public health via the introduction of resistant bacteria and their genes into receiving water bodies." @default.
