Antimicrobial resistance status of small marine fishes off the coastal cities of east and west coast of India: an adaptive nanopore sequencing based metagenomics raises concerns
Puntos clave
Antimicrobial resistance was prevalent in small marine fishes, raising concerning implications for marine ecosystem health.
Out of 150 samples, over 60% exhibited resistance to common pathogens, indicating potential health risks.
Analysis employed nanopore sequencing to assess microbial diversity and resistance profiles of the fish microbiome.
Findings highlight the urgent need for monitoring marine life, as increased resistance poses risks in food safety and public health.
