As a highly contaminated waterway flowing through a densely populated urban area, microbiological pollution associated with the Choqueyapu River and the absence of a wastewater treatment plant in La Paz city threatens public health. We collected air samples adjacent to this river using impingement. Laboratory analyses identified the presence ofEnterobacteriaceae, reporting a maximum concentration of 86,11 CFU/m3of sampled air. Positive samples were tested for antibiotic susceptibility against the antibiotics amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, meropenem, sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim and tetracycline via disk diffusion. The highest percentages of antibiotic resistance were registered for tetracycline (50% of isolates) and sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (38,9%), while the lowest resistance profile was reported for meropenem (5,6%). A comparison of results obtained on the pilot studies [elaborated during the wet season of 2018 by Chavez, 2019 and Salazar et al., 2020] and the present study has been done, highlighting seasonal effects over airborneEnterobacteriaceaeconcentration. Also, it was determined an increase of antibiotic resistance for tetracycline, gentamicin and ciprofloxacin; and a reduction for sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim, meropenem and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid.
