ABStrAct: The emergence of antimicrobial-resistant genes and the indiscriminate use of antibiotics contribute to the dissemination of resis-
tant pathogens in the environment. The objective of the present study was to isolate Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp., Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli from the sewage effluents of 10 hospitals located in Goiânia, Brazil, and from the sewage treatment station of the city, to determine their susceptibility profile and investigate their resistance mechanisms. The isolates from water samples were identified by biochemical tests and confirmed using API 20E (BioMerieux). Susceptibility profiling was performed by disc diffusion in accordance with the methodology established by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards. Extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) detection was carried out by the disk approximation method using phenotypic tests. Sixty-seven microorganisms were isolated and identified, including E. coli 10 (14,92%), K. pneumoniae 10 (14,92%), P. aeruginosa 3 (4,47%) and A. baumannii 1 (1,49%). Of the E. coli strains, 100% were resistant to aztreonam, 40% to ampicillin, 30% to piperacillin, 20% to ciprofloxacin and 10% to gentamicin. None of the bacterial strains produced ESBL or carbapenems. Of the P. aeruginosa strains, 100% were resistant to ampicillin-sulbactam, while 100% had intermediate resistance to gentami- cin. Strains of K. pneumoniae were resistant to ampicillin (70%) and to piperacillin (20%); additionally, 50% showed intermediate resistance to piperacillin. Total resistance was not found in any of the isolates of A. baumannii, which showed intermediate resistance to aztreonam and ceftriaxone. Overall, resistance rates were low in the isolates of E. coli, P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae and A. baumannii.

tógenos resistentes en el ambiente. El objetivo de este estudio fue aislar Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter spp., Klebsiella pneumoniae y Escherichia coli en efluentes de aguas residuales de 10 hospitales situados en Goiânia, Brasil, y de la estación de tratamiento de aguas residuales de la ciudad intentando determinar su perfil de susceptibilidad e investigar a sus mecanismos de resistencia. Los aislados de muestras de agua fueron identificados de promedio pruebas bioquímicas y confirmados utilizando API 20E (BioMerieux). El perfil de susceptibilidad fue realizado por difusión de disco de acuerdo con la metodología establecida por el National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards. La detección de beta-lactamasas de espectro extendido (ESBL) fue realizada de promedio el método de aproximación de discos utilizando pruebas fenotípicas. Sesenta y siete microorganismos fueron aislados e identificados, incluyendo E. coli 10 (14,92%), K. pneumoniae 10 (14,92%), P. aeruginosa 3 (4,47%) y A. baumannii 1 (1,49%). Las cepas de Escherichia Coli fueran 100% resistentes a aztreonam, 40% a ampicilina, 30% a piperacilina, 20% a ciprofloxacino y 10% a gentamicina. Ningunas de las cepas bacterianas produjeron ESBL o carbapenems. Las cepas de P. aeruginosa fueran 100% resistentes a ampicilina-sulbactam, mientras 100% presentaran una resistencia media a gentamicina. Las cepas de K. pneumoniae fueran resistentes a ampicilina (el 70%) y a piperacilina (el 20%); además, el 50% presentaran resistencia media a piperacilina. La resistencia total no fue encontrada en aislados de A. baumannii, que presentaran resistencia media a aztreonam y ceftriaxona. En términos globales, las tajas de resistencia fueran bajas en los aislados de Escherichia Coli, P. aeruginosa, K. pneumoniae y A. baumannii.
