TI  - The Global Problem of the Antibiotic and Heavy Metal Resistance in Aquatic Resources, An examination of Gelevera Creek (Giresun), Turkey
AB  - Gelevera Creek was chosen as the sample area in this study, which aims to detect antibiotic andheavy metal resistance in water resources that threaten human, animal and ecosystem health on a global scale.For this purpose, surface water and sediment were collected monthly from four different stations starting fromApril 2017 and ending in March 2018. After the Gr (-) and Gr (+) bacteria isolation in selective media, the325 isolated were tested for their resistance against 4 different heavy metals. The resistance levels of thesebacteria against to cadmium, copper, lead and manganese resistance were detected respectively as 89%,60.16%, 33%, 29.8% (Cd > Cu > Pb > Mn). The 82 isolates with high resistance against heavy metals in eachstation were also tested for their resistance against antibiotics. The levels of resistance against antibiotics ofthese isolated strains were found respectively as follows: cefazolin: 69.6%, cefuroxime: 59.4%, nalidixic acid:51.7%, ampicillin: 46%, cefotaxime: 39.1%, meropenem: 31.4%, amikacin: 21.7%, erythromycin: 13%, andchloramphenicol: 3.3%. In our study, two isolates with high antibiotic and heavy metal, using the Vitek-IICompact System were identified as Serratia marcenscens (99%) and Enterococcus avium (91%).Furthermore, the multiple antibiotic resistance levels (MAR) of all isolates are 80,5%. The results indicatethat the isolates taken from the Gelevera Creek (Giresun) were found to be extremely resistant againstcommercially used antibiotics and heavy metals, and this shows that there is antibiotic and heavy metalcontamination in drinking water reserves.
