Antibiotic resistance has become a global concern due to their excessive use in human and veterinary medicine. The purpose of the study was to determine the level of antibiotic resistance in multi-resistant gram-negative enterobacteria and bacilli isolated from the effluents of the Port-bouët abattoir, the Yopougon Hospital and University Center, and the lagoon bays of the city of Abidjan. It was conducted over the period of January to December 2019. A total of 192 wastewater samples were collected and analyzed at the Microbiology laboratory of ivorian antipollution Center. The antibiogram was performed at the Institut Pasteur of Côte d'Ivoire. The bacteriological analysis allowed the isolation of 34 species of enterobacteria and 19 non-fermentative gram-negative bacilli with a respective predominance of Klebsiella pneumoniae (41.2%) and Aeromonas hydrophila (42.1%). The study also revealed high resistance rates of 50-100% to beta-lactams in enterobacteria and gram-negative bacilli with almost no resistance to imipenem. High resistance has also been observed with some quinolone antibiotics, aminoglycosides, phenicol, fosfomycin and sulfamethoxazole. The presence of multi-resistant bacteria in these effluents represents a real risk for public health.
