In-depth characterization of virulence traits, pathogenicity, antibiogram, and antibiotic resistance genes of MDR Vibrio parahaemolyticus retrieved from shrimp.

ABSTRACT: V. parahaemolyticus poses a remarkable public health threat, accounting for approximately 25% of global seafood-related infections in human consumers and resulting in severe infections and substantial economic losses in the aquaculture. To explore the prevalence, antibiogram, virulence and resistance genes, the multidrug resistance profiles, and the pathogenicity of V. parahaemolyticus recovered from shrimp, 200 Litopenaeus vannamei (clinically healthy: n = 100 and diseased: n = 100) were gathered from commercial shrimp farms in Ismailia, Egypt. Accordingly, clinical and postmortem findings and bacteriological examinations were performed. All the recovered isolates were positive for the groEL and Ap3 genes, indicating that all the retrieved isolates were AHPND-causing strains. The prevalen
