- ItemIncidence of coagulase negative Staphylococci and its AMR (antimicrobial resistance) level in seafood, Veraval, Gujarat(Fishtech Reporter, 2020)The presence of antimicrobial resistance in CoNS is mainly due to the commonly used antimicrobial agents such as oxacillin, ciprofloxacin, erythromycin, clindamycin and methicillin for the treatment of Gram’s positive bacteria.This could pose public health threat and it may act as a reservoir for the horizontal transfer of antimicrobial resistance.
- ItemPrevalence of extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) E. coli in fishes from the retail markets of Guwahati, Assam.(Fishtech Reporter, 2020)The present study highlights the prevalence of ESBL E. coli in fishes sold in the selected retail markets of Guwahati, Assam. The microbiological identification and antibiotic susceptibility test (AST) profile of the isolates were carried out using BD Phoenix™ M50 automated system (BD Diagnostics, USA).
- ItemMolecular detection of antibiotic resistance genes in multidrug resistant Listeria monocytogenes isolated from fish retail markets(Fishtech Reporter, 2020)Listeria monocytogenes is a ubiquitous pathogen with an ability to contaminate a variety of foods during pre- and/or post-processing (Olaimat et al., 2018). Due to its ability to resist wide environmental conditions such as pH (4.7 to 9.2), high salinity (10% NaCl) and temperature (0.5 to 45°C), L. monocytogenes is recognized as significant food safety hazard, especially in ready-to-eat (RTE) foods. Owing to its high mortality rate (20 to 30%) and hospitalization rates of Listeria infection, the Food and Drug Administration of the United States implemented zero tolerance approach for L. monocytogenes in all the RTE foods (Hitchins, 1998).
