Genotype diversity and antibiotic resistance risk in Aeromonas hydrophila in Sichuan, China.

ABSTRACT: Sichuan is a significant aquaculture province in China, with a total aquaculture output of 1.72 × 10⁶ tons in 2022. One of the most significant microorganisms hurting the Sichuan aquaculture is Aeromonas hydrophila, whose genotype and antibiotic resistance are yet unknown. This study isolated a total of 64 strains of A. hydrophila from various regions during September 2019 to June 2021 within Sichuan province, China. The technique of Multi-Locus Sequence Typing (MLST) was used for the purpose of molecular typing. Meanwhile, identification of antibiotic resistance phenotype and antibiotic resistance gene was performed. The findings of the study revealed that 64 isolates exhibited 29 sequence types (ST) throughout different regions in Sichuan, with 25 of these ST types being newly
