Urban riverine environment is a source of multidrug-resistant and ESBL-producing clinically important Acinetobacter spp.
Some Acinetobacter species have emerged as very important opportunistic pathogens in humans. We investigated Acinetobacter spp. from the polluted urban riverine environment in Croatia in regard to species affiliation, antibiotic resistance pattern and resistance mechanisms. This is the first report of environmental CTX- M-15-producing Acinetobacter spp., and the first identification of CTX-M-15 in A. johnsonii, A. junii, A. calcoaceticus, A. gandensis, A. haemolyticus and A. radioresistens worldwide. We identified, also for the first time, the environmental Acinetobacter producing TEM ESBLs, highlighting the potential risk for human health, and the role of these bacteria in maintenance and dissemination of clinically important antibiotic resistance genes in community through riverine environments.
