Studies on the Prevalence and Antibiotic Resistance Patterns of Bacteria (Vibrio) Isolated from Fish and Shrimp
Abstract
Antibiotic resistance in aquaculture is an emerging concern that threatens both animal health and public safety. This study investigated antibiotic resistance trends of Vibrio species isolated from aquaculture environments in the Nellore District, Andhra Pradesh. Eight distinct Vibrio species were identified from fish and shrimp samples collected from various ponds and water channels: Vibrio alginolyticus, Vibrio mimicus, Vibrio fluvialis, Vibrio harveyi, Vibrio splendidus, Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio cholerae, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Morphological, biochemical, and antibiotic sensitivity tests were conducted to confirm their identities and resistance profiles. The results indicated resistance to several commonly used antibiotics, including oxytetracycline, erythromycin, and ciprofloxacin, with some species exhibiting complete resistance to specific antibiotics. While chloramphenicol and furazolidone demonstrated broad effectiveness, their use is restricted due to potential health risks. Gentamycin showed moderate effectiveness, and ampicillin exhibited limited efficacy. These findings highlight the prevalence of antibiotic-resistant Vibrio species in aquaculture, underscoring the necessity for responsible antibiotic use and the exploration of alternative disease control methods. This study provides crucial data for informing future research and policy aimed at combating antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture.
