Article Synopsis
- A study investigated the presence of a marine bacterium in fish tank water samples from 69 seafood restaurants in Seoul, South Korea, focusing on its prevalence, antibiotic resistance, and virulence traits.
- Out of the samples tested, 35 (50.7%) were contaminated with the bacterium, with notable antibiotic resistance to ampicillin, amikacin, and tetracycline found in many isolates.
- Despite some virulence genes being absent, the findings suggest that restaurant fish tanks may pose a risk for antibiotic-resistant infections, highlighting the need for stricter regulations on their maintenance.
