Screening for antimicrobial- and heavy metal resistant bacteria in copper contaminated areas
Summary
A One heath approach is essential to examine the role of the marine environment in the selection and spread of antimicrobial resistance.
Aerobic blood culture definition biology
Norwegian aquaculture used high amounts of antimicrobials during the 80s and 90s, which facilitated widespread resistance among fish pathogens. Moreover, fish farms have since their beginning used copper containing coating as anti-fouling agents on the fish nets, in addition to copper supplements in the fish feed.
Consequently, some fish farms have high concentrations of copper in det sediments beneath the pens. Several studies have reported that even sublethal concentrations of heavy metals can facilitate co-selection of antimicrobial resistance and heavy metal resistance.

This study applied Vibrio spp. as indicator of antimicrobial- and heavy metal resistance in copper contaminated areas. Six different locations were sampled twice. T
