K1 Microorganismos - Resistencia a los medicamentos
AB Marine bacteria exposed to antibiotics in fish farms can acquire antimicrobial resistance by mobilegenetic elements and horizontal gene transfer. A total of 872 autochthonous marine bacterial strainswas isolated from samples collected from four different fish farms located at northern and southern ItalianAdriatic Sea. Resistance to only tetracycline (17%) and to trimethoprim–sulfadiazine (7%) were themost frequent patterns obtained, while flumequine resistance has recorded in only 0.3% of the strains.Comparing strains isolated from coastal areas and fish farms, a significant higher incidence (4% versus10%) of multi-resistant strains in aquaculture centers was found. Significant differences in antibioticresistance incidence were also detected among the four fish farms due probably to different approachesin farm management and the more or less frequent use of antibiotics. Antibiotic-resistant and multiresistantstrains isolated constitute an environmental reservoir directly involved in the seafood chainand might represent a public health concern.
