are often resistant to different classes of antibiotics, harbor virulence determinants, and produce biofilm. The presence of in raw seafood exhibits serious public health significance. This study aimed to identify antibiotic resistance patterns and virulence factors in biofilm-forming strains extracted from seafood in Bangladesh.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in various sources (clinical, environmental, poultry) in Bangladesh, finding that most isolates are multidrug-resistant.
  • Out of 110 samples, 22 were confirmed as P. aeruginosa, showing complete resistance to multiple antibiotics, particularly beta-lactams, while demonstrating some sensitivity to Amikacin, Gentamicin, and Ciprofloxacin.
  • Genetic profiling revealed the presence of several β-lactamase genes, highlighting significant concerns regarding the resistance mechanisms of P. aeruginosa, which have implications for public health strategies.

Pathogenic, antibiotic-resistant, and biofilm-forming bacteria can be transferred to humans through the consumption of contaminated seafood. The present study was carried out to determine antibiotic resistance profiles and virulence determinants in biofilm-forming isolated from seafood in Bangladesh. A total of 150 seafood samples, including shrimp (n = 50), crabs (n = 25), and marine fish (n = 75), were screened using cultural, staining, biochemical, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Congo red (CR), and disk diffusion (DD) assays.

Enterococci are commensal bacteria that inhabit the digestive tracts of animals and humans. The transmission of antibiotic-resistant genes through human-animal contact poses a potential public health risk worldwide, as zoonoses from wildlife reservoirs can occur on every continent. The purpose of this study was to detect spp.

The eradication of staphylococcal infections has become more difficult due to the development of antibiotic resistance and virulence in biofilm-forming Staphylococcus aureus. The presence of the life-threatening zoonotic pathogen, methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA), in foods indicates a public health issue.
