Antibiotic susceptibility of staphylococci isolated from Labeo rohita sold in Burla fish market Orissa

Sahu Jyotirmayee, . and Sahoo Rabi Shankar, . and Prasad M. M., . Antibiotic susceptibility of staphylococci isolated from Labeo rohita sold in Burla fish market Orissa. pp. 531-539. ISSN 0116-6514

Screening of commercial sold freshwater Labeo rohita revealed that the staphylococcal count decreased from one to two log cycles/g upon washing the fish. The fish samples harboured more number of staphylococci in edible meat portion than in guts. The microscopic biochemical and oxidative fermentations tests of the isolates by conventional and rapid detection methods revealed that they are Staphylococcus haemolyticus S. auricularius and S. caseolyticus. When the isolates were compared with 45 different antibiotics the results varied from susceptible to resistant in comparison with American Type Culture Collection cultures. In comparison to Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute isolates both the staphylococcal test cultures were resistant to penicillin (G) and vancomycin. With other antibiotics viz. Pristinamycin Ticarcillin/Clavulanic acid Gatifloxacin Clindamycin Clarithromycin Levofloxacin Linezolid Cefeprime Erythromycin Streptomycin Fosfomycin and Piperacillin/Tazobactam the results varied from intermediate to sensitive.

Abstract

Screening of commercial sold freshwater Labeo rohita revealed that the staphylococcal count decreased from one to two log cycles/g upon washing the fish. The fish samples harboured more number of staphylococci in edible meat portion than in guts. The microscopic biochemical and oxidative fermentations tests of the isolates by conventional and rapid detection methods revealed that they are Staphylococcus haemolyticus S. auricularius and S. caseolyticus. When the isolates were compared with 45 different antibiotics the results varied from susceptible to resistant in comparison with American Type Culture Collection cultures. In comparison to Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute isolates both the staphylococcal test cultures were resistant to penicillin (G) and vancomycin. With other antibiotics viz. Pristinamycin Ticarcillin/Clavulanic acid Gatifloxacin Clindamycin Clarithromycin Levofloxacin Linezolid Cefeprime Erythromycin Streptomycin Fosfomycin and Piperacillin/Tazobactam the results varied from intermediate to sensitive.
