    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Antimicrobial Resistance
    • Environmental Health

    Background:

    • Vibrio alginolyticus is an opportunistic pathogen found in marine environments.
    • Understanding its antimicrobial susceptibility is crucial for effective treatment of infections.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the antimicrobial sensitivity of V. alginolyticus from diverse environmental and human sources.
    • To compare sensitivity patterns between environmental and pathogenic strains.

    Main Methods:

    • Agar diffusion method was used to test 29 antimicrobial agents.
    • Environmental and human pathogenic strains of V. alginolyticus were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • All strains were sensitive to Gentamicin, Neomycin, Sulfaisodimidin, Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim, Rifamycin, Nalidixan, and Linco-Spectin.
    • High resistance was observed against Penicillin, Fucidin, Meticillin, Carbenicillin, and Lincomycin.
    • No significant variation in sensitivity was found between environmental strains from different geographical locations.

    Conclusions:

    • Environmental and human pathogenic V. alginolyticus strains exhibit similar antimicrobial resistance profiles.
    • The findings suggest a strong correlation that can inform clinical treatment decisions.
    • Monitoring environmental strains can provide insights into potential therapeutic challenges.
