Abstract
of 274 fecal coliforms isolated from two watercourses influencing the costal water quality of the gdańsk and the puck bay, 265 were identified as escherichia coli. the remained strains belonged to: acinetobacter spp. (n=1), enterobacter spp. (n=3), klebsiella spp. (n=4) and shigella spp. (n=1). the susceptibility of 222 e. coli was tested against 19 antimicrobial agents: aminoglycosides, carbapenems, cephalosporines, folate antagonists, fluoroquinolones, monobactam, penicillins, penicillins/b-lactamase inhibitors, and tetracycline. the highest number of the isolates was resistant to penicillins (ampicillin 21% and piperacillin 14%) as well as to tetracycline (16%). up to 19% of e. coli isolates were resistant to 3 or more of analyzed antimicrobial agents and 9% were regarded as multiple antibiotic-resistant (mar) strains. two of analyzed isolates were regarded as extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) - producing strains.
