Study of Antibiotic Resistivity of Some Bacteria from Selected Fish Species of Patna
Keywords:
Antibiotics, Bacteria, Fish, Pathogen, ResistivityAbstract
Infection caused by pathogens transmitted to humans by various means and fish is one of them. Fish are susceptible to various microorganisms (bacterial pathogens) which is the part of the micro environment. The purpose of this study was for isolation of bacteria from fish organ and impact of generic antibiotics upon isolated bacteria for potential checking. The study conducted between October to December, 2019 in the Department of Biotechnology, by selecting three species of fish Eutropiichthys vacha (Batchwa), Ctenopharyngodon idella (Grass Carp) and Labeo rohita (Rohu) from local fish market of Patna district. Possible bacteria isolated from fish are: Proteus vulgaris, Bacillus subtilis/P. aeruginosa, Vibrio cholera, Klebsiella aerogenes, Klebsiella pneumonia, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella typhi from the selected organ are gills, intestine, heart, liver and muscle. The isolated bacteria identified by using biochemical test (iMVIC) and antibiotics susceptibility test was conducted for testing impact of antibiotics on it by using 13 antibiotics were used in this work. The result of the study showing that rohu fish sold in the market has highly bacterial contamination and antibiotics resistance. We are strongly suggested the urgent need to improve the quality of fish supplied in the fish market Patna.
