Prevalence and Antimicrobial Resistance of Seafood-Borne Bacterial Pathogens
摘要
The chapter focuses on the occurrence and distribution of pathogenic bacteria in seafood and their resistance to antibiotics. This is essential for understanding the public health risks associated with consuming contaminated seafood, including fish, shrimp, and shellfish, as well as for developing strategies to curb the spread of antimicrobial-resistant bacterial pathogens. Key points typically explored include the incidence of common bacterial pathogens in seafood, as well as the levels of antimicrobial resistance exhibited by these pathogens. The chapter also discusses the sources and factors contributing to their prevalence, such as aquaculture practices and environmental contamination, and explores the implications for food safety regulations and public health policies.
