Abstract
Introduction. Representatives of the family Enterobacteriaceae are ubiquitous in the environment, causing severe, including opportunistic diseases in immunocompromised individuals. The occurrence of antibiotic-sensitive bacteria of the Klebsiella genus within the recreational zone of a water body is potent of posing an epidemiologic danger to the inhabitants of the settlement.
Materials and Methods. Water samples from the surface aquifers of the Don and Temernik rivers of Rostov-on-Don served as the material for the study. The sensitivity of isolates of Kl. pneumoniae isolates to fourteen antibacterial preparations were investigated by disk-diffusion method in accordance with the requirements of MUK 4.2.1980-04 and EUCAST v. 13.0 (2023). 13.0 (2023). Carbapenemase genes VIM, IMP, NDM, KPC, OXA-48, NDM were determined using commercial diagnostic kits AmpliSense MDR MBL-FL, AmpliSense MDR KPC/OXA-48-FL, AmpliSense MDR Ab-OXA-FL.
Results. In 2022, 247 isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae were isolated in 14 biotopes of water bodies of Rostov-on-Don. Biotopes of epidemiological significance were identified with the presence of antibiotic resistance genes in 28 isolates isolated above and below the sewage discharge site (sampling point #1 and #5) and strains isolated from the mouth of the Temernik River (sampling point #14). Phenotype of multidrug-resistant (MDR) in point No. 1 possessed 22%, point No. 5 – 26.9%, point No. 14 – 26%; phenotype of extreme drug resistance (XDR) in point No. 1 possessed 11.1 %, point No. 5 – 15.3%, point No. 14 – 13%; phenotype of pan-drug-resistant (PDR) in point No. 1 did not possess, point No. 5 – 3.8%, point No. 14 – 4.3%.
Limitations. A limitation of the study is related to the location of water sampling from the river. Don and R. Temernik on the territory of Rostov-on-Don, covering from March to November 2022. In this article, we limited ourselves to sanitary-bacteriological and molecular genetic analysis.
Conclusion. The detection of PDR, XDR, and MDR antibiotic-resistant phenotypes of Klebsiella pneumoniae, as well as the detection of resistance genes, indicates to an increased risk of water-associated acute intestinal infections, especially in immunosuppressed individuals.
