Abstract

The current estimates indicate that 40% of the world’s population is living in the coastal regions. Enormous quantities of untreated sewage from thickly populated and urbanized coastal regions are being discharged into the natural water bodies. Many coastal cities and towns across the world do not have the infrastructure to manage the ever-increasing loads of sewage, resulting in the entry of enormous quantities of wastewater into the coastal water bodies, which is often raw and laden with several pathogenic bacteria and viruses. The entry of wastewater, along with its diverse array of bacteria of public health significance, viz., diarrheagenic E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella spp., pathogenic vibrios, etc., is causing serious public health issues either directly by affecting the people who depend on these water bodies for livelihood activities and recreation or by contaminating the fish and shellfish stocks harvested from it. Several of the pathogens entering the coastal waters carry antibiotic resistance determinants and virulence-related genes, which they transfer freely among them through horizontal gene transfer (HGT). The organically polluted coastal waters provide an ideal platform for HGT and further compounding this issue. This chapter deals with the distribution and antibiotic resistance among these pathogenic bacteria in various coastal environments worldwide.
