Özet

Epidemiological cut-off value (ECV) analysis for commonly used antimicrobials in aquaculture have not been established for many aquatic pathogens, including Pseudomonas. This study was the first to examine the categorization of 92 aquatic Pseudomonas isolates by calculating seven antimicrobials ECVs using two analytical methods: normalized resistance interpretation and ECOFFinder. Pseudomonas spp. isolates had decreased sensitivity to all antimicrobials examined except for doxycycline and ciprofloxacin. The PCR analysis of the 91 isolates of Pseudomonas spp. detected the tetracycline genes are predominant with the count of 41 genes, including tetA, tetC, tetD, tetM, tetS and tetH, following sulfonamide genes are in 21 isolates including sul1 and sul2, floR gene in 15 isolates and ermA gene in three isolates. Our findings provide an understanding of the antimicrobial categorization of Pseudomonas species, which are significant groups, subgroups, and species for aquaculture due to insufficiently defined breakpoints or cut-off values reported in CLSI and/or EUCAST.
