Antibiotic resistance of Escherichia coli isolated from the white-leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) collected from Binh Dien Agricultural Wholesale Market

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the rate of antibiotic resistance, multiple antibiotic resistance of 60 E. coli strains isolated from white-leg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) collected from Binh Dien Agricultural Wholesale Market in Ho Chi Minh City. Should have a short description how to perform the study here Within10 examined antibiotics, those E. coli strains showed a high resistant level to ampicillin (96.7%), streptomycin (70.0%), kanamycin (66.7%), nalidixic acid (60.0%), tetracyclines và trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (56.7%), ciprofloxacin (61.7%), chloramphenicol (43.3%). The percentage of multidrug-resistant strains (from 5 to 10 tested antibiotics) was 55%. All isolated strains were insensitive to all 10 tested antibiotics. Four strains (6.7%) were found to be resistant to all these antibiotics
