Abstract

Mineral water is a product that deserves attention for recognition of their quality, however mineral waters are not sterile and microorganisms present of its own , indigenous , existing prior to any treatment or processing. Bacteria of the genera Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Alcaligenes, Flavobacterium, Micrococus, and Bacillus are considered. These microorganisms, particularly the genus Pseudomonas , after industrial bottling process multiply rapidly , causing changes in the quality mineral water and triggering gastrointestinal disorders. The treatment against P. aeruginosa requires the combination of several classes of antibiotics, including beta- lactams third and fourth generation agents , aminoglycosides , and quinolones carbepenemas , among others . Because bacteria are able to develop resistance to antibiotics through various mechanisms, such as modification of the permeability system, production of beta - lactamases , transfer of R factors by conjugation or overexpression of efflux.
