Antibiotic Resistance and Genetic Variability of Acinetobacter spp. from Wastewater Treatment Plant in Koksov-Baksa (Kosice, Slovakia).

ABSTRACT: This study investigated the genetic variability and antibiotic resistance of Acinetobacter community depending on the stage of wastewater treatment in Kokšov-Bakša for the city of Košice (Slovakia). After cultivation, bacterial isolates were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), and their sensitivity to ampicillin, kanamycin, tetracycline, chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin was examined. Acinetobacter spp. and Aeromonas spp. dominated bacterial populations in all wastewater samples. We identified 12 different groups based on protein profiling, 14 genotypes by amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis and 11 Acinetobacter species using 16S rDNA sequence analysis within Acinetobacter com
