“…With respect to the patterns of resistance to antibiotics examined, the highest percentages of resistance were shown by E. coli to beta-lactam antibiotics (AM and OX). Studies carried out on Enterobacter spp have shown the resistance of this microorganism to third generation beta-lactamic agents [23], a result similar to that shown by the isolated microorganisms in the study, which showed resistance to this type of antimicrobial agents. Table 5 shows the number of bacteria resistant to the different antibiotics evaluated in this research.…”

“…The mean of the most likely number (MPN) of total coliforms in the different samples showed that there was no statistically significant difference (p > 0.05). These data show that the natural environment in which these fish live has a high load of polluting bacteria belonging to the coliform group, considering that the bacterial flora depends on the type and number of microorganisms found in the environment, most of which correspond to Gram-negative bacteria, although there are some variations in tropical climates [23].…”

“…Evaluation of susceptibility to antibiotics This was done according to Kirby-Bauer's methodology [23]. The susceptibility to antibiotics was realized in agar diffusion Muller Hinton of the Oxoid brand (UK) in previous bacterial suspension corresponding to an optical density (DO) of 0.5 according to the standard scale of McFarland, corresponding to 10 8 CFU mL -1 and diluted 1:100 in saline solution 0.85%.…”

Abstract-The emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria has been increasing, these have been appearing in wild animals for different reasons. For this reason, it is essential to determine whether the total isolated of lisa (Mugil incilis) coliforms captured from the Cartagena de Indias bay (Colombia) show resistance to different antibiotics. Lisas were fished in the Cartagena bay and then taken to the microbiology laboratory of the Engineering Faculty of the University of Cartagena, after which the bacteria were isolated from the gills and intestines. The determination of total coliforms was carried out using the MPN method. Of the isolated microorganisms (E. coli and Enterobacter aerogenes) the highest proportion showed resistance to the antibiotics evaluated, it was also observed that the highest susceptibility occurred against chloramphenicol, ceftriaxone and amikacin. Given the results, the high degree of pollution of the bay's waters is confirmed, in addition to the fact that the microorganisms showed resistance to the evaluated antibiotics and in some cases the same microorganism was resistant to more than two antibiotics.

“…MARB have been isolated from eggs and cloacal fluid of the green turtles, Chelonia mydas [36,40]. Microbial isolates from cloacae of the loggerhead turtle (Carettacaretta), had similar high level of MARB [38]. MARB were isolated from eggs and oviductal fluid, an indication of contaminated effluents encountered by the sea turtles during migration and in the feeding areas near their nesting grounds [24,36,38,40].…”

“…Therefore, effluent pollution can be detected by the presence of MARB or antimicrobial agents. The presence of MARB in the aquatic environment has been investigated by many workers [2,24,32,36,[38][39][40][41][42]. These studies have shown that many aquatic and marine habitats exposed to antibiotic residues have developed a significant MARB presence.…”

Multiple antibiotic resistant bacteria (MARB) and antimicrobial drugs enter the environment via wastewater, especially from hospitals and pharmaceutical plants, and through agricultural runoff, leading to contamination of surface and groundwater. This is a serious problem in arid regions such as Oman where wastewater is recycled for irrigation and recharging aquifers. Treatment with chlorine does not completely remove bacteria from wastewater or prevent their re-growth in downstream distribution systems. MARB can infect humans via contaminated food and drinking water, or directly from the environment. Agricultural runoff and sewage, either treated or untreated, are also the main sources of MARB in coastal seawater. It is necessary to use antibiotics more prudently in medicine, treat wastewater more effectively, eliminate the discharge of untreated waste into the environment, and curtail the profligate use of antibiotics as growth promoters for livestock.

Serum from Kemp's ridley sea turtles Lepidochelys kempii and loggerhead sea turtles Caretta caretta was collected during summer in 2011, 2012, and 2013. Serum immunoglobulin Y (IgY) recognition of lysate proteins from nine bacterial species and whole bacterium-specific IgY titers to these pathogens were quantified. Serum and purified IgY recognized proteins of all bacteria, with protein recognition for some species being more pronounced than others. Circulating IgY titers against Vibrio vulnificus, V. anguillarum, Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae, and Brevundimonas vesicularis changed over the years in Kemp's ridley sea turtles, while IgY titers against V. vulnificus, Escherichia coli, V. parahaemolyticus, B. vesicularis, and Mycobacterium marinum were different in loggerhead sea turtles. Serum lysozyme activity was constant for loggerhead sea turtles over the 3 years, while activity in Kemp's ridley sea turtles was lower in 2011 and 2012 than in 2013. Blood packed cell volume, glucose, and serum protein levels were comparable to those of healthy sea turtles in previous studies; therefore, this study provides baseline information on antibody responses in healthy wild sea turtles.
