Résumé

Bacterial resistance to carbapenem, which is mainly due to the successful dissemination of carbapenemase-encoding genes, has become a major health problem. Few studies have aimed to characterize the level of resistance in the environment, notably in hospital wastewater, which is a likely hotspot for exchange of antibiotic resistance genes. In this work, we looked for the presence of imipenem-resistant bacteria and imipenem in the effluent of the teaching hospital of Clermont-Ferrand, France. Selective growth of bacteria from 14-day old biofilms formed in the pipe sewer showed that 22.1% of the isolates were imipenem-resistant and identified as Aeromonas (n = 23), Pseudomonas (n = 10), Stenotrophomonas (n = 4) and Acinetobacter (n = 1). Fifteen of these strains harbored acquired carbapenemase-encoding genes bla
