Antimicrobial resistance profile of bacteria from hospital wastewater at two specialized hospitals in Bahir Dar city, Ethiopia
Hospital waste waters contain high prevalence of multiple drug-resistant bacteria, particularly the third-generation cephalosporin resistant K. pneumoniae and E. coli would be a big concern. Infection prevention and control practices with proper treatment of hospital wastewater before discharging should be in practice to contain the spread of drug-resistant bacteria from hospital to external environment.
