Abstract

In M’pody village from Anyama district, a diarrhea epidemy was detected in January 2020. According to the population involved, these diarrhea cases could be linked to consumption of water from rural hydraulic water supply for almost 3 years. Access to safe drinking water is a prerequisite for good health. Poor drinking water quality is responsible for almost 90% of diarrhoeal diseases and 40% of deaths in developing countries. In addition, in recent years, several studies in both Europe and North America have indicated the presence of antibiotic multidrug-resistant (MDR), Enterobacteriaceae (including Escherichia coli) or genes coding for antibiotic resistance in various aquatic environments. The present work was carried out with the objective of assessing the bacterial contamination of well and borehole water in the locality of M'pody and determining the level of antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli strains isolated from these waters as well as their resistance phenotypes. Samples of well and borehole water were collected and analyzed using membrane filter method and antibiotic susceptibility of Escherichia coli strains isolated from these waters was tested using agar diffusion technique in respect with the recommendations of the Antibiogram Committee of the French Microbiology Society. Microbiological analysis of water samples showed that water was contaminated by E. coli, well water being more polluted than the water from the borehole. High resistance was observed against amoxicillin (43.8 to 82.1%), amoxicillin-clavulanic acid (37.5% to 52.6%) and ticarcillin (37.5% and 66.1%). High levels of resistance were also observed against cefalotin (18.8% to 53.6%) and cefuroxime (9.4% to 48.2%). No resistance was observed with 3^rd generation of cephalosporins. Several resistance phenotypes were observed, TRI phenotype dominating followed by PHN phenotype, PBN phenotype and then CBN phenotype. This study revealed existence of resistant strains in the groundwater of M'pody which would justify implementation of a surveillance of bacterial resistance to antibiotics to limit dissemination and transmission to humans.
