Hospital sewage is considered an environment with the potential to favor the spread and increase of multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDR). The increase in antimicrobial resistance is one of the greatest global threats today. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the profile of antimicrobial susceptibility and virulence factors in Enterobacteriaceae isolated from the sewage of a tertiary hospital located in southeastern Brazil. For bacterial isolation, membrane filtering, serial dilution, and spread-plate techniques were used. The bacterial isolates were identified using the MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight) technique. Antimicrobial susceptibility profile was performed by disk-diffusion test. Virulence genes were screened by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and the hypermucoviscosity phenotype by string test. In total, 13 enterobacteria distributed in three species were identified (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, and Citrobacter freundii) and 76.9% (n = 10) were classified as MDR. Two K. pneumoniae demonstrated the hypermucoviscosity phenotype. The virulence genes ycfM and entB were detected in all K. pneumoniae isolates (other genes found were fimH, mrkD, and kfu). The results indicated that the sewage from the analyzed hospital receives MDR bacteria and has the potential to contaminate and spread through the environment. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 1-Ethyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-7-(piperazin-1-yl)-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (cas: 70458-96-7Category: piperazines).
1-Ethyl-6-fluoro-4-oxo-7-(piperazin-1-yl)-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (cas: 70458-96-7) belongs to piperazine derivatives. The piperazine scaffold is often found in biologically active compounds in different therapeutic areas. These therapeutic areas include antifungals, antidepressants, antivirals, and serotonin receptor (5-HT) antagonists/agonists. Intermediate for a wide range of pharmaceuticals, polymers, dyes, corrosion inhibitors, rubber accelerators and surfactants.Category: piperazines
