Abstract/Description: | Triclosan (TCS) is a biocide commonly used in household and personal care items to prevent the microbial growth and is currently considered as an emerging pollutant. It has a ubiquitous distribution which can substantially contribute towards antimicrobial resistance. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of different concentrations of TCS exposure on the antibiotic sensitivity of aquatic bacteria. Aeromonas hydrophila ATCC® 49140™ and Edwardsiella tarda ATCC® 15947™ exposed to TCS for short (30 min) and long duration (serial passages). The agar-disc diffusion assay during the serial passages of TCS exposure and subsequent exposure withdrawal showed clinically insignificant changes in the zone of inhibition for six selected antibiotics in both bacterial strains at all exposure concentrations. Four folds concentration-dependent increase in the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of TCS was observed in both the strains following TCS exposure. Similarly, a concentration-dependent increase in the MICs of oxytetracycline (OTC) up to 4 folds in A. hydrophila, and up to 8 folds in E. tarda, was also documented during the TCS exposure. In all the cases, withdrawal of TCS exposure effectively reduced the MICs of TCS and OTC in blank passages suggesting a decline in acquired resistance. The frequencies of mutation during 30 min TCS exposure for E. tarda and A. hydrophila ranged between >10−6 and 10−7 levels. Nevertheless, the TCS exposure did not cause any detectable mutation on the fabV gene of A. hydrophila indicating that the TCS may elicit phenotypic adaptation or other resistance mechanism. Although the reduction in MICs due to exposure withdrawal did not restore the bacterial susceptibility up to the initial level, the study proved that the reduced TCS use could significantly help reduce the antimicrobial-resistance and cross-resistance in pathogenic bacteria. |
