Characteristics of ESBL-producing <i>E</i>. <i>coli</i> isolates from wastewater chains.

* Am = ampicillin
Cx = cefotaxime
Cz = ceftazidime
Te = tetracyclin
St = streptomycin
Ci = ciprofloxacine
Na = nalidixic acid
Su = sulfamethoxazole
Tr = trimethoprim
Ch = chloramphenicol.
MICs were determined with Etests (Cz, Na, Su, Ch) and microbroth dilution (remainder of antimicrobials), resistance defined as MIC greater than or equal to the epidemiological cut-off (EUCAST).
Indicated in bold are pheno-/genotypes present in HCI and municipal wastewater.
