Antimicrobial Resistant Bacteria in Shrimp and Shrimp Farms of Bangladesh
The purpose of this study was to investigate the presence of pathogenic bacteria, specifically Escherichia coli and Salmonella and Vibrio species, and their antimicrobial resistance in shrimp aquaculture facilities of Bagerhat (Bangladesh). Sediment samples were collected from both Penaeus monodon and Macrobrachium rosenbergii farms and shrimp samples from the Macrobrachium rosenbergii facility. The abovementioned bacteria were not found, but five Enterobacterales (Proteus penneri, Proteus alimentorum, Morganella morganii, Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. xiangfangensis and Plesiomonas shigelloides) were detected. This is the first documented case of Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. xiangfangensis in a shrimp farm. Nine antibiotics—ampicillin, gentamicin, chloramphenicol, oxytetracycline, nitrofurantoin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, azithromycin, and co-trimoxazole—were selected for antibiotic resistance testing, and the majority (88.9%) had at least one isolate that was resistant. Across sources, 78.0% of isolates were resistant to at least one antimicrobial, and multidrug resistance was also detected in 29.3% of all isolates. Despite the low number of samples analyzed, nine in total, the results of this experiment emphasize that shrimp farms in Bagerhat may have a problem with antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. This could have negative impacts on shrimp quality and consumers’ health.
