A total of 83 Vibrio isolates from farmed marine shrimps (Penaeus monodon) were tested for the presence of class 1, 2 and 3 integrons, SXT constin and tetracycline resistance-encoding genes. Mutations in the quinolone resistance-determining regions (QRDRs) of the gyrA and parC genes were determined in fluoroquinolone-resistant Vibrio strains (n=17).
