Antibiotic resistance, efflux pump genes and virulence determinants in Enterococcus spp. from surface water systems
(Springer, 2016)The aim of this study was to report on antibiotic susceptibility patterns as well as highlight the presence of efflux pump genes and virulence genetic determinants in Enterococcus spp. isolated from South African surface ... -
Inside environmental Clostridium perfringensgenomes: antibiotic resistance genes, virulence factors and genomic features
(IWA Publishing, 2020)Until recently, research has focused on Clostridium perfringens in clinical settings without considering environmental isolates. In this study, environmental genomes were used to investigate possible antibiotic resistance ... -
Prevalence, antibiotic resistance and virulence of Enterococcus spp. From wastewater treatment plant effluent and receiving waters in South Africa
(IWA Publishing, 2020)Poorly operating wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) result in faecal pollution of receiving waters, posing a health risk to humans and animals. The aim of this study was to determine the antimicrobial resistance patterns ... -
Virulence determinants and production of extracellular enzymes in Enterococcus spp. from surface water sources
(IWA Publishing, 2016)Virulence factors in Enterococcus may be indicative of potential pathogenicity. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the presence of clinically relevant virulence genes, in Enterococcus spp. from ...
