Isolation, Molecular Characterization, and Antimicrobial Resistance of Selected Culturable Bacteria From Crayfish (Procambarus clarkii).

ABSTRACT: Red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) have become one of the favorite aquatic products in China. The modern farming mode which uses antibiotics to prevent diseases could impact the bacteria in crayfish intestines. Here, we determined the distribution and antimicrobial resistance phenotypes of the selected culturable bacteria in crayfish intestines and characterized an isolate with last-line antibiotic resistance determinant. Totally, 257 strains were isolated from 115 crayfish. These strains were highly diverse, with Citrobacter sp. (n = 94, 36.6%) and Aeromonas sp. (n = 88, 34.2%) being dominant. Other isolates belonged to genera Pseudomonas, Myroides, Morganella, Klebsiella, Acinetobacter, Proteus, Enterob
