“…and Vibrio spp., were detected (Gassem, 2019). Several species of 8 bacterial families were isolated from seafoods obtained from the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, and the most predominant were Vibrionacea, Aeromonadaceae, Shewanellaceae, Pasteurellaceae, Caulobacteriaceae, Pseudomonadaceae, Enterobacteriaceae and Burkholderiaceae with various rates (Ibrahim et al, 2016).…”

It was reported that Rubian (tiger shrimp) Penaeus semislcatus, which is consumed as a regular part of the diet in the Arabian Gulf, could be beneficial due to its high content of phosphorus, zinc, calcium, copper, magnesium, and protein (Musaiger & D'Souza, 2008). The quality of fish and fish products is multifaceted and includes a wide range of issues, such as safety and freeness from health risks, nutritional value or quality, convenience, availability, and integrity, as well as the freshness of fish, sensory characteristics, physical features, type, and quantity of products. Furthermore, fishing, storage, handling, processing, and procedures, in addition to conditions such as time and temperature that affect the fish products' safety and quality are significant factors (Abbas et al., 2008). A lack of information about the enhanced fish management and postharvest processes contributes to low-quality fish products and fisheries (Food and Agriculture Organization, 2020). In order to be confident about health and safety, it is essential to maintain high levels of fish quality throughout the whole food chain, from catching to consumption (Hyldig & Green-Petersen, 2005), Consumers' requests for excellent, healthy, and safe foods is growing globally (Sen, 2005). Fish meat and seafood products are moderately unsteady in fresh and frozen preservation. The organoleptic characteristics of fish occur quickly due to multiple factors. Biochemical (i.e., enzymatic) changes and microbial effects yield quantifiable alterations in fish during fresh (iced) storage, while frozen preservation induces physical, chemical, and biochemical reactions that reduce fish quality (Woyewoda et al., 1986). Fish foods are known carriers of health risks, such as foodborne disease microbes including Salmonella sp., Vibrio sp., fungi, parasites,

Background: Marketed fish and shellfish are a source of multidrug-resistant and biofilm-forming foodborne pathogenic microorganisms. Methods: Bacteria isolated from Sparus aurata and Penaeus indicus collected from a local market in Hail region (Saudi Arabia) were isolated on selective and chromogenic media and identified by using 16S RNA sequencing technique. The exoenzyme production and the antibiotic susceptibility patterns of all identified bacteria were also tested. All identified bacteria were tested for their ability to form biofilm by using both qualitative and quantitative assays. Results: Using 16S RNA sequencing method, eight genera were identified dominated by Vibrio (42.85%), Aeromonas (23.80%), and Photobacterium (9.52%). The dominant species were V. natrigens (23.8%) and A. veronii (23.80%). All the identified strains were able to produce several exoenzymes (amylases, gelatinase, haemolysins, lecithinase, DNase, lipase, and caseinase). All tested bacteria were multidrug-resistant with a high value of the multiple antibiotic index (MARI). The antibiotic resistance index (ARI) was about 0.542 for Vibrio spp. and 0.553 for Aeromonas spp. On Congo red agar, six morphotypes were obtained, and 33.33% were slime-positive bacteria. Almost all tested microorganisms were able to form a biofilm on glass tube. Using the crystal violet technique, the tested bacteria were able to form a biofilm on glass, plastic, and polystyrene abiotic surfaces with different magnitude. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that marketed S. aurata and P. indicus harbor various bacteria with human interest that are able to produce several related-virulence factors.
