Integrated assessment of mucilage impact on human health using the One Health approach: Prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of and in the Marmara Sea, Türkiye.

This study employed a One Health approach to assess the potential impact of mucilage on human health by characterizing the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) profiles of and strains isolated during the 2021 mucilage event in the Marmara Sea, Türkiye. Mucilage, a gelatinous organic substance exacerbated by climate change, disrupts marine ecosystems by depleting oxygen, threatening biodiversity, and serving as a reservoir for pathogenic microorganisms. Surface and benthic mucilage samples collected from the Marmara Sea were analysed for AMR profiles using genome analysis, the BD Phoenix™ 100 automated system, and E-test methods.

Genomic insight into Myroides oncorhynchi sp. nov., a new member of the Myroides genus, isolated from the internal organ of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss).

The strain M-43 was isolated from the Oncorhynchus mykiss from a fish farm in Mugla, Turkey. Pairwise 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis was used to identify strain M-43. The strain was a member of the genus Myroides sharing the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence identity levels of 98.
