Multidrug-Resistant and Clinically Relevant Gram-Negative Bacteria Are Present in German Surface Waters

Water is considered to play a role in the dissemination of antibiotic-resistant Gram-negative bacteria including those encoding Extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBL) and carbapenemases. To investigate the role of water for their spread in more detail, we characterized ESBL/Carbapenemase-producing...
