- 01:09Estimation of Total Bacterial Load and Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria Count
- 02:33DNA Template Preparation and PCR Amplification for 16S rRNA Gene Sequencing
- 04:05Detection of Antibiotic Resistance in the Isolates by Antibiotic Susceptibility Testing
- 06:08Results: Identification of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria and Their Resistance Genes
- 08:04Conclusion
Here, we present a detailed protocol for the isolation and identification of antibiotic-resistant bacteria from water and the molecular characterization of their antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). The use of culture-based and non-culture-based (metagenomic analysis) techniques provides complete information about the total bacterial diversity and the total pool of different ARGs present in freshwaters from Mumbai, India.
