Analysis of resistant pathogenic bacteria and their relationship with xenobiotic molecules in environmental samples from the Zahuapan River
Resumen
This paper analyzes the presence and resistance of pathogenic bacteria in the Zahuapan River, addressing the influence of environmental pollutants on the dissemination of resistance genes. Sampling was conducted at different sites along the riverbed, including sediments, water, and soil, to identify patterns of bacterial resistance associated with the presence of environmental pollutants. Preliminary results show increased resistance in sediments and at specific points in the water, especially in areas with high industrial and waste pollutant loads, indicating that the river functions as a reservoir and vector of environmental resistance.
