Abstract EN
The present study was conducted to gain insights into the occurrence and characteristics of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase- (ESBL-) producing Escherichia coli (E.
coli) from drinking well water in the rural area of Laiwu, China, and to explore the role of the nearby pit latrine as a contamination source.
ESBL-producing E.
coli from wells were compared with isolates from pit latrines in the vicinity.
The results showed that ESBL-producing E.
coli isolates, with the same antibiotic resistance profiles, ESBL genes, phylogenetic group, plasmid replicon types, and enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus-polymerase chain reaction (ERIC-PCR) fingerprints, were isolated from well water and the nearby pit latrine in the same courtyard.
Therefore, ESBL-producing E.
coli in the pit latrine may be a likely contributor to the presence of ESBL-producing E.
coli in rural well water.
