RESEARCH REGARDING THE PRESENCE OF ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE AT BACTERIAL STRAINS ISOLATED FROM AQUACULTURE FISHES
Abstract
The antibiotic resistance is a well-researched and of great interest subject for both veterinary and human medicine, not only due to the impact on human and animal health, but also for the effects that are triggered in the long run that are hard to specify at this moment. It is unanimously recognized the fact that the emergence of antimicrobial resistance phenomenon reduces the possibility of a large scale use of bacterial etiology diseases preventing and controlling means In the study was aimed both the isolation and identification of some bacterial species present in fishes from aquaculture farms, as well as the determination of the resistance degree to the main antibacterial substances of these isolated bacterial strains identified from the aquatic environment. The research was made on fish farms for the intensive growth of brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), species raised for consumption. The laboratory tests were performed using Vitek2 Compact equipment, used both to identify the isolated bacterial species, as well as to test their resistance to antimicrobial agents. The assays for antibiotic susceptibility testing were performed on seven out of ten bacterial strains isolated at a higher frequency. The research showed that there was a higher antimicrobial resistance in Sphingomonas paucimobilis, at 4 out of 17 antimicrobial substances under study and in Rhizobium radiobacter at 5 antimicrobial substances.
