Abstract: The abuses of antibiotics in medicine and livestock exposed to environmental bacteria lead to a large-scale dissemination of antibiotic-resistance bacteria in aquatic environment under selective pressure and the resistant organism could transfer resistance genes across the genus and species by plasmid and integron. Antibiotic resistance microbes are common in aquatic environment and the aquatic environment has become a major reservoir for antibiotic-resistant microbes. Infections caused by those resistant strains usually lead to a higher fatality rate than that observed with non-resistant one, especially among immunocompromised individual. This review describes recent research about current study of antibiotic resistant bacteria, the transfer of resistant gene and the hazardous to the human being.

Key words: aquatic environment, antibiotic-resistance bacteria, transfer of resistant gene
