| antibacterial agents and heavy metal resistance in gram-negative bacteria isolated from seawater, shrimp and sediment in iskenderun bay, turkey. | the aim of the present study was to determine the level of antibiotic resistance patterns and distribution of heavy metal resistance of bacterial isolates from seawater, sediment and shrimps, and to determine if there is a relationship between antibiotic and heavy metal resistance. we undertook studies in 2007 in the industrially polluted iskenderun bay, on the south coast of turkey. the resistance of 236 gram-negative bacterial isolates (49 from seawater, 90 from sediment and 97 from shrimp) to ... | 2008 | 18804847 |
| aeromonas and pseudomonas: antibiotic and heavy metal resistance species from iskenderun bay, turkey (northeast mediterranean sea). | we studied the susceptibility patterns to 15 different antibiotics and six heavy metals in aeromonas spp. and pseudomonas spp. isolated from iskenderun bay, turkey (northeast mediterranean sea). a high percentage of aeromonas isolates showed resistance to cefazolin (66.6%) and trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole (66.6%). amongst the pseudomonas isolates, there was a high incidence of resistance to nitrofurantoin (86.2%), cefazolin (84.8%) and cefuroxime (71.7%). most isolates showed tolerance to diff ... | 2010 | 19551480 |
