Multidrug-resistant high-risk clonal *Escherichia coli* lineages | ResearchBunny

Abstract

This study examined the presence of ESBL-producing *E. coli* in surface water in northeastern Germany, analyzing their AMR, heavy metal tolerance, biofilm formation, and plasmids, alongside antibiotic residue quantification. The analysis identified 30 ESBL-producing *E. coli* isolates, some linked to high-risk clonal lineages. Antibiotic residues were detected, though at lower concentrations than in wastewater. The Baltic Sea surface water may act as a reservoir for ESBL-producing *E. coli* and relevant antibiotics.
