Abstract
⺠Antibiotic resistant E. coli and E. coli O157 were prevalent in Elk Creek. ⺠Resistance was highest to tetracycline, ampicillin and streptomycin. ⺠Biofilm and sediment isolates were more likely to be resistant than water isolates. ⺠Some water quality variables (nutrients, temperature, DO and salinity) impact AMR. ⺠Biofilms and sediment are important reservoirs of AMR E. coli that could pose a risk to public health.
