Overview

Cross-sectional study evaluates knowledge, attitudes, and practices on antimicrobial use among fish farmers, indicating poor understanding of antimicrobials and resistance risks.

Key Points

  • Fish farmers showed poor knowledge of antimicrobial use and resistance, with scores of 0.47 and 0.30 respectively.
  • Attitudes and practices regarding antimicrobial use were also inadequate, scoring 0.40 and 0.47 respectively.
  • Risk perception of emerging antimicrobial resistance was fair, with an average score of 0.50 among participants.
  • Training in modern fish farming practices may enhance knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerning antimicrobial use.
