An Update on Wastewater Multi-Resistant Bacteria: Identification of Clinical Pathogens Such as <i>Escherichia coli</i> O25b:H4-B2-ST131-Producing CTX-M-15 ESBL and KPC-3 Carbapenemase-Producing <i>Klebsiella oxytoca</i>

An Update on Wastewater Multi-Resistant Bacteria: Identification of Clinical Pathogens Such as <i>Escherichia coli</i> O25b:H4-B2-ST131-Producing CTX-M-15 ESBL and KPC-3 Carbapenemase-Producing <i>Klebsiella oxytoca</i>

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are significant reservoirs of bacterial resistance. This work aims to identify the determinants of resistance produced by Gram-negative bacteria in the influent and effluent of two WWTPs in Portugal. A total of 96 wastewater samples were obtained between 2016 and...
