Resumo: | The quality of water used for human consumption related to the absence of coliforms, which, which may cause diseases and exhibit antimicrobial resistance, a frequent issue in places with poor or non-existent environmental sanitation. The present study evaluated the concentrations of total and thermotolerant coliforms in rivers and wells in Curitibanos (SC), as well as the phenotypic resistance to four antibiotics (Ampicillin, Ampicillin+Sulbactam, Ciprofloxacin and Tetracycline), during four seasons of the year. Analysis of variance was performed and means were separated by the Scott-Knott test, at 5% error probability. In rivers, the highest values of fecal coliforms were recorded in summer and winter, and resistance to ampicillin and ampicillin+sulbactam was higher in autumn, while resistance to tetracycline was more prevalent in summer. In the wells, the highest averages of fecal coliforms occurred in summer, autumn and winter, and the highest levels of resistance were observed against ampicillin, in autumn. Overall, rivers had more compromised water quality, compared to wells, emphasizing the need to preserve aquatic resources in order to decrease evolution of resistance to antibiotics and diseases and deaths cause by superbacteria that may be ingested with contaminated water. |

O presente estudo avaliou a concentração de coliformes totais e termotolerantes em rios e poços em Curitibanos (SC), bem como a resistência fenotípica a quatro antibióticos (Ampicilina, Ampicilina+Sulbactam, Ciprofloxacina e Tetraciclina), durante quatro estações do ano. A análise de variância foi realizada e as médias foram separadas pelo teste de Scott-Knott, a 5% de probabilidade de erro. Nos rios, os maiores valores de coliformes fecais foram registrados no verão e inverno, e a resistência à ampicilina e à ampicilina+sulbactam foi maior no outono, enquanto a resistência à tetraciclina foi mais prevalente no verão. Nos poços, as maiores médias de coliformes fecais ocorreram no verão, outono e inverno, e os maiores níveis de resistência foram observados frente à ampicilina, no outono. De maneira geral, os rios apresentaram maior comprometimento de qualidade da água, em comparação aos poços, reforçando a necessidade da preservação de recursos hídricos para diminuir a evolução da resistência a antibióticos e doenças e óbitos causados por superbactérias ingeridas com água contaminada.Universidade Federal de Campina Grande - UFCG2022-05-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.ufcg.edu.br/ActaBra/index.php/actabra/article/view/58010.22571/2526-4338580Acta Brasiliensis; Vol 6 No 2 (2022): Acta Brasiliensis; 43-48Acta Brasiliensis; Vol 6 No 2 (2022): Acta Brasiliensis; 43-48Acta Brasiliensis; Vol 6 No 2 (2022): Acta Brasiliensis; 43-482526-43382526-432Xreponame:Acta Brasiliensis (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (UFCG)instacron:UFCGenghttp://revistas.ufcg.edu.br/ActaBra/index.php/actabra/article/view/580/144Copyright (c) 2022 Acta Brasiliensisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRibeiro, Gabrielle FrançaAngelo, Natalia Maria MartinazzoProença, Júlia Elizabethda Cruz, Sonia Purin2022-05-31T18:55:59Zoai:ActaBra.revistas.ufcg.edu.br:article/580Revistahttp://revistas.ufcg.edu.br/ActaBraPUBhttp://revistas.ufcg.edu.br/ActaBra/index.php/actabra/oaiactabrasiliensis@gmail.com || actabrasiliensis@gmail.com2526-432X2526-4338opendoar:2022-05-31T18:55:59Acta Brasiliensis (Online) - Universidade Federal de Campina Grande (UFCG)false |
