Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed 116 Pseudomonas spp. and 92 Aeromonas spp. from Vietnamese catfish farms, examining their antibiotic resistance and transferability of resistance traits.
- High resistance was found, with 96.6% of Pseudomonas and 61.9% of Aeromonas showing multiple drug resistance, linked to high-risk contamination sources.
- Around 33% of Pseudomonas and 28% of Aeromonas had class 1 integrons, and successful gene transfer experiments indicated these bacteria could spread their resistance to other strains, marking a significant discovery in antibiotic resistance in catfish in Vietnam.
Antimicrobial resistance is a global problem. It is most prevalent in developing countries where infectious diseases remain common, the use of antibiotics in humans and animals is widespread, and the replacement of older antibiotics with new generation antibiotics is not easy due to the high cost. Information on antibiotic resistance phenotypes and genotypes of Salmonella spp.
