STUDY OF RESISTANCE TO ANTIBIOTICS OF MICROORGANISMS ISOLATED FROM ANTARCTIC CLIFFS AND BLACK SEA BOTTOM SEDIMENTS
Journal Title: Ecological Engineering and Environment Protection (EEEP) - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Resistance to antibiotics of bacteria isolated from extreme ecosystems was compared. Pseudomonas аntarctica and Rothia sp. strains isolated from rocky lichen of Antarctic Galindez Island were highly resistant to the antibiotics. Rhodococcus fascians 181n3, Sporosarcina aquamarina 188n2 and Staphylococcus epidermidis 190n1 strains were found to be sensitive to all antibiotics studied. Plasmid localization of genes coding resistance to Cr (VI) and Co2+ was determined. Correlation of resistance of microorganisms isolated from «ecologically pure» ecosystem to antibiotics demonstrated in this study and resistance of these microorganisms to the toxic metals exhibited by us earlier is fundamentally new data which testify the phenomenon of simultaneous resistance of microbial community to different extremal factors.
