| dc.description.abstract | Drinking water comprises a complex microbiota, in part shaped by the disinfection and distribution systems. Gram-negative bacteria, mainly members of the phylum Proteobacteria, represent the most frequent bacteria in drinking water, and their ubiquity and physiological versatility raises questions about possible implications in human health. The first step to address this concern is the identification and characterization of such bacteria that is the first objective of this study, aiming at identifying ubiquitous or persistent Gram-negative bacteria, Proteobacteria or members of other phyla, isolated from tap water or from its source. >1000 bacterial isolates were characterized and identified, and a selected group (n = 68) was further analyzed for the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) to antibiotics (amoxicillin and gentathicin) and metals (copper and arsenite). Total DNA extracts of tap water were examined for the presence of putatively acquired antibiotic resistance or related genes (intll, bla(TEM), qnrS and sully. The ubiquitous tap Water genera comprised Proteobacteria of the class Alpha-(Blastomonas, Brevundimonas, Methylobacterium, Sphingobium, Sphingomorlas), Beta-(Acidovorax, Ralstonia) and Gamma-(Acinetobacter and Pseudomonas). Persistent species were members of genera such as Aerolnonas, Enterobacter or Dechloromonas. Ralstonia spp. showed the highest MIC values to gentamicin and Acinetobacter spp. to arsenite. The genes intll, bla(TEM) or sul1 were detected, at densities lower than 2.3 x 10(5) copies/L, 2.4 x 10(4) copies/L and 4.6 x 10(2) copies/L, respectively, in most tap water samples. The presence of some bacterial groups, in particular of Beta-or Gammaproteobacteria (e.g. Ralstonia, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas) in drinking water may deserve attention given their potential as reservoirs or carriers of resistance or as opportunistic pathogens.
