Colistin Resistance in Aquaculture Environment: An Emerging Challenge

Abstract The emergence of colistin resistance is one the most serious future issues since it a last‐resort antibiotic used to treat infections caused by multidrug‐resistant (MDR) gram‐negative bacteria, particularly those resistant carbapenems. aquatic environment acts as reservoir for and spread pathogens. transmission plasmid mediated mcr gene important mechanism in gram negative bacteria. Several variants have been identified zoonotic pathogens origin that may easily transmit this human Currently, very few studies conducted test susceptibility aquaculture associated This be attributed limited technical resource screening colistin‐resistant microorganisms. As result, reduce animal health, well environment, One Health strategy laboratory methodologies must expanded.
