Abstract

The antimicrobial resistance of environmental strains has a serious impact on the aquatic ecosystem, as well as on human and veterinary medicine. One way to verify problems related to the presence of drugs in the environment is to carry out monitoring using bacteria that are bioindicators of contamination, such as Escherichia coli. Given this scenario, the objective of this study was to carry out a short review on antimicrobial resistance in pediatric Escherichia coli from environmental samples. Thus, this study constitutes a bibliographic review of an analytical nature, dealing with the theme of antimicrobial resistance in environments; topic that has been much discussed in the academic community. It was defined as inclusion of inclusion: articles published between the years 2016 and 2022, in the PubMed database. As a result, it was found that in the analyzed years, there was an oscillation of publications on themes related to resistance, plasmids and integrons. Thus, we conclude that research on antimicrobial resistance in environmental strains should be increasingly carried out, with the objective of monitoring and verifying which drugs are more present in the environment as the consequences generated are still unknown.
