Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aquaculture systems may contribute to the emergence and persistence of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria, posing risks to animal, environmental, and human health. This study characterized the phenotypic and genotypic antimicrobial resistance profiles of Enterococcus spp. isolated from the skin microbiota of 125 channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) harvested from two earthen ponds in Alabama,...
