Antibiotic Resistance Properties among Pseudomonas spp. Associated with Salmon Processing Environments.

ABSTRACT: Continuous monitoring of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria along the food chain is crucial for the assessment of human health risks. Uncritical use of antibiotics in farming over years can be one of the main reasons for increased antibiotic resistance in bacteria. In this study, we aimed to classify 222 presumptive Pseudomonas isolates originating from a salmon processing environment, and to examine the phenotypic and genotypic antibiotic resistance profiles of these isolates. Of all the analyzed isolates 68% belonged to Pseudomonas, and the most abundant species were Pseudomonas fluorescens, Pseudomonas azotoformans, Pseudomonas gessardii, Pseudomonas libanesis, Pseudomonas lundensis, Pseudomonas cedrina and Pseudomonas extrema
