Antimicrobial Resistance of Β-haemolytic Aeromonas Hydrophila Strains Isolated from Rainbow Trouts (oncorhynchus Mykiss)

چکیده
The aim of this study was to isolate β-haemolytic Aeromonas hydrophila strains from live rainbow trouts (Oncorhynchus mykiss) destined for human consumption and to investigate their resistance to antimicrobial drugs. Sterile swab samples were collected from 52 rainbow trouts. Fifteen (28.8%) βhaemolytic Aeromonas strains were isolated from collected 52 swab samples. Through API 20 NE, 12 of them were identified as A. hydrophila. The sensitivity of 8 isolates to antimicrobial drugs and drug combinations was determined using MICRONAUT-SB Varia KH I 2 microplates. All isolates were sensitive to ceftazidime, ciprofloxacin, co-trimoxazole and levofloxacin, and resistant to amikacin, amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, ampicillin/sulbactam, cefazolin, cefotiam, clindamycin, erythromycin, imipenem, linezolid, meropenem, teicoplanin and vancomycin. The percentages of resistance of isolates to the other tested chemotherapeutic drugs were variable. The presence of β-haemolytic A. hydrophila strains, resistant to antimicrobial drugs in rainbow trouts poses a potential risk for consumers’ health.

Our study was focused on characterization of dominant Bacillus bacteria isolated from the digestive tract of Oncorhynchus mykiss. After 8 weeks, the fish fed with probiotic-free diet were dissected under strictly controlled conditions. Fish intestines were eviscerated and its content diluted to 10−4 using Ringer solution. Two isolated bacteria were Gram-positive, catalase-positive, and oxidase-...

Bacterial infections caused by members of the genus Aeromonas, with a relatively high antibiotic resistance, are among the most common and troublesome diseases of fish raised in ponds with recirculation systems. In this study, carried out at an experimental aquaculture station in northern Portugal, 51 strains identified as belonging to the genus Aeromonas were isolated from 20 rainbow trout (On...
