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.

Aquaculture water with antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) is escalating due to the horizontal gene transfer. Non-antibiotic stressors specifically found, including those from fishery feed and disinfectants, are potential co-selectors. However, the mechanisms underlying this process remains unclear.

Antimicrobial Susceptibility and Local Epidemiological Cut-Off Values of Vibrio anguillarum Isolated From Fish Farms in Turkey.

Laboratorio de Patología de Organismos Acuáticos y Biotecnología Acuícola, Facultad de Ciencias de la Vida, Universidad Andrés Bello, Viña del Mar, Chile.

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
  • Agrochemicals with antibiotics have been used to combat fire blight in Korea since 2015, but the effectiveness of these antibiotics is declining due to increased resistance in the pathogen Erwinia amylovora.
  • The study revealed that exposure to different antibiotics led to specific gene mutations in the pathogen, significantly raising the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) required to control it.
  • The findings indicate that using mixed antibiotics may slow resistance development but could still lead to multidrug-resistant strains, highlighting the need for careful management to prevent further resistance.
