Occurrence and Antibiotic Resistance Risk Burden of <i>Vibrio mimicus</i> Isolates from Seafood and Aquatic Environments.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emerging antimicrobial resistance in Vibrio mimicus (Vm) associated with seafood may exacerbate infections in patients.

Method

This study investigated the prevalence of antibiotic resistance and its cross-sample/territory risk burden in Vm from seafood and aquatic environment using hierarchical mixed-effects and antimicrobial resistance risk index (ARRI) modelling.

Results

Among the Vm isolates, resistance was highest to amoxicillin (83.7%, 5.3-99.8) and streptomycin (54.6%, 95% CIs: 15.8-88.5), with generally high resistance to penicillins (58.0-98.0%), macrolides (17.2-65.8%), and colistin sulphate (80.2%). Resistance to aminoglycosides, cephalosporins, tetracyclines, and fluoroquinolones varied widely, with seafood and environmental water sources
