Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns of Aeromonas spp. Isolated from Ornamental Fish

Abstract: The potential risk of occurrence of new diseases associated with the trade of live animals is well known. However, little importance is still given to the problematic of the dissemination of resistance genes that pass along with the animal trade. In this study we aimed to isolate Aeromonas spp. strains from water and skin of ornamental fish and test their resistance to antibiotics. The samples were collected from a national ornamental fish importer, with the intent of obtaining a collection of Aeromonas strain… Show more

“…In agreement, surprisingly numerous multi-antibiotic-resistant bacteria (49%) were observed among our isolates, apart from their classical resistance to beta lactam antibiotics (Janda & Abbott 2010). Tolerance to tetracycline and erythromycin was particularly widespread (> 50%), a finding that was in common with other comparable investigations of motile aeromonads from ornamental fish (Dias et al 2012, Sreedharan et al 2012. While tolerance of these antibiotics has likely resulted from their use in the aquarium fish industry, resistance can also arise from gene mutations or by acquisition of transferable genetic elements such as integrons (Jacobs & Chenia 2007).…”

“…High levels of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria isolated from ornamental fish and their environment is not a novel observation (Verner-Jeffreys et al 2009, Cízek et al 2010, Dias et al 2012. In agreement, surprisingly numerous multi-antibiotic-resistant bacteria (49%) were observed among our isolates, apart from their classical resistance to beta lactam antibiotics (Janda & Abbott 2010).…”

“…Yine ülkemizden bildirilen bir çalışmada enrofloksasine karşı direnç saptanmazken siprofloksasin ve nalidiksik asit direnci %16.7 olarak bulunmuştur (1). Yurtdışında yapılan çalışmalarda da sıklıkla siprofloksasin ve enrofloksasine karşı düşük direnç oranları (%0-25) bildirilmiştir (9,10,19,23,24). Oksolinik asit ve nalidik asit direnci ise daha yüksek oranlarda (%59-100) saptanmıştır (9,10).…”

Çalışmamızda da diğer çalışmaların sonuç-larına benzer şekilde siprofloksasin ve enrofloksasin için daha düşük direnç oranları saptanırken, nalidiksik asit, flumakin ve oksolinik asit için daha yüksek direnç oranları saptanmıştır.…”
