Structure of Bacterial Community with Resistance to Antibiotics in Aquatic Environments. A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: Aquatic environments have been affected by the increase in bacterial resistant to antibiotics. The aim of this review is to describe the studies carried out in relation to the bacterial population structure and antibiotic resistance genes in natural and artificial water systems. We performed a systematic review based on the PRISMA guideline (preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyzes). Articles were collected from scientific databases between January 2010 and December 2020. Sixty-eight papers meeting the inclusion criteria, i.e., "reporting the water bacterial community composition", "resistance to antibiotics", and "antibiotic resistance genes (ARG)", were evaluated according to pre-defined validity criteria. The results indicate that the predominant phyla were
