Abstract excerpt
Background: Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen with the characteristics of a multidrug-resistant (MDR) antibiotic-resistant and highly virulent pathogen. Its presence in aquaculture systems poses significant threats and concerns for fish health, farm productivity, and potential zoonotic risk. Aim: This study aimed to assess the distribution of P. aeruginosa virulence genes, their antibiotic...
