of 274 fecal coliforms isolated from two watercourses influencing the costal water quality of the gdańsk and the puck bay, 265 were identified as escherichia coli. the remained strains belonged to: acinetobacter spp. (n=1), enterobacter spp. (n=3), klebsiella spp. (n=4) and shigella spp. (n=1). the susceptibility of 222 e. coli was tested against 19 antimicrobial agents: aminoglycosides, carbapenems, cephalosporines, folate antagonists, fluoroquinolones, monobactam, penicillins, penicillins/b-lactamase inhibitors, and tetracycline. the highest number of the isolates was resistant to penicillins (ampicillin 21% and piperacillin 14%) as well as to tetracycline (16%). up to 19% of e. coli isolates were resistant to 3 or more of analyzed antimicrobial agents and 9% were regarded as multiple antibiotic-resistant (mar) strains. two of analyzed isolates were regarded as extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) - producing strains.
