Heavy metals and antibiotic resistance bacteria in marine sediment of Pahang coastal water
The presence of heavy metal and antibiotic resistance bacteria in the marine sediment may indicate heavy metal pollution and antibiotic abuse present in the environment. In this study, a total of 89 bacteria isolated from sediment collected in Teluk Chempedak and Pantai Batu Hitam of Pahang coasta...

| description | The presence of heavy metal and antibiotic resistance bacteria in the marine sediment may indicate heavy metal
pollution and antibiotic abuse present in the environment. In this study, a total of 89 bacteria isolated from sediment
collected in Teluk Chempedak and Pantai Batu Hitam of Pahang coastal water underwent heavy metal resistance test
against Chromium, Cadmium, Nickel, Copper and Cobalt. Previously, these isolates were found to exhibit antibiotic
resistance capabilities to at least 5 antibiotics tested. Heavy metal resistance pattern for isolates from Teluk
Chempedak was in the form of Cr > Ni >Co >Cd = Cu while for isolates from Pantai Batu Hitam showed a pattern of Cr
= Ni >Co >Cu >Cd. Further investigation on the identity of selected isolates that exhibited both antibiotic and heavy
metals resistance capabilities using 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed isolates with closest similarities to
Staphylococcus saprophyticus and Brevundimonas vesicularis.. |
