Article Synopsis
- Antibiotic resistance in microorganisms poses a significant health risk to both humans and animals, contributing to treatment failures and higher mortality rates from infections.
- Research at the Sea Turtle Conservation Center of Thailand revealed high mortality rates among juvenile turtles due to bacterial infections, with a connection found between bacterial presence in holding tank seawater and infections in the turtles.
- The study spanning from 2015 to 2019 found that a majority of bacterial isolates in the seawater were resistant to at least one antibiotic, highlighting the growing concern of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and their impact on the health of sea turtles in captivity.
