Within past years, pieces of evidence have shown mobilization of these resistance genes from the environment into pathogenic bacteria causing health risks to humans and animals and also, demonstrating a link between environmental and clinical resistance [123] . The HWW has been reported to have two overexpressed β-lactam-resistance genes (bla GES and bla OXA ) as compared with the water collected from other aquatic bodies, which could be correlated with antibiotic usage over the time in hospitals and discharge of the residues of antibiotics in the wastewater [176] .
