A single-use phosphorimetric drop plane sensor for the determination of oxolinic acid (OXA) is proposed. The sensor was formed by a 30x16 mm(2) rectangular strip of Mylar type polyester as solid support that contained a circular sensing zone, 6 mm in diameter and 20 mum in thickness, formed by PVC plasticized with tributylphosphate adhered to its surface. When the strip was introduced for 1 hour into a sample solution, the analyte was retained in the sensing zone, making it possible to directly measure the phosphorescence intensity emitted by the OXA in the solid phase, at lambda(exc)=330 nm and lambda(em)=449 nm. The variables that affect the construction of the sensor have been studied, along with the experimental variables that influence the fixation of the analyte in the sensor. The method's detection limit was 0.01 mg l(-1) with an applicable concentration range from 0.04 to 1.50 mg l(-1) and a repeatability of 2.6% at the concentration range of 0.8 mg l(-1). The method was applied to samples of human urine and cows' milk, with recovery percentages ranging between 97.6 and 108.7%.

Epidemiological cut-off values for Vibrio parahaemolyticus calculated from minimal inhibitory concentration data generated at 35 and 28°C.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to establish epidemiological cut-off values for the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 10 antimicrobial agents against the bacteria Vibrio parahaemolyticus using standardized testing methods.
- Eight laboratories conducted broth microdilution tests at two different temperatures (35°C and 28°C) to assess the effect of incubation temperature on MIC values, finding that many values were consistent across both temperatures.
- The generated data will be submitted to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute to help set international standards for interpreting antimicrobial susceptibility tests for this species.

Article Synopsis
- Oxolinic acid is a quinolone antibiotic used in aquaculture, raising environmental concerns as it can enter water bodies from aquaculture effluents.
- The study focused on the reactivity of its anionic form through direct and indirect photolysis, determining how it reacts with various radicals produced in water.
- Results indicate that OxA is quite photoreactive, especially with HO and CO radicals, but its degradation can be inhibited by compounds like phenol, with predicted half-lives of a few days in both fresh and seawater mainly due to direct photolysis.

Studies on preventing antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture emphasise the need to responsibly and prudently use antimicrobials, selecting those most effective in controlling and/or reducing mortalities caused by vibriosis. In this study, the distribution of the antimicrobial susceptibility of 28 Vibrio anguillarum isolates from Turkish fish farms was determined using the broth microdilution minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guideline. The epidemiological cut-off (CO) values of the V.

Article Synopsis
- Flavobacterium psychrophilum is a pathogen affecting salmonids and poses a major threat to aquaculture, yet its genetic diversity remains underexplored, especially in the Czech Republic, where 70 fish isolates were studied from 2012-2019.
- The study utilized various techniques, such as multiplex PCR for serotyping and multi-locus sequence typing, identifying several new sequence types and demonstrating the clonal spread of certain isolates.
- Findings revealed a growing prevalence of specific serotypes linked to international trade, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring of this pathogen in aquatic environments.

Understanding the efficacy of antimicrobials against pathogens from clinical samples is critical for their responsible use. The manuscript presents in vitro efficacy and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes in seven species of fish pathogens from the disease outbreaks of Indian aquaculture against oxytetracycline, florfenicol, oxolinic acid, and enrofloxacin. In vitro efficacy was evaluated by minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration.
