| Abstract | Ten out of fifty fresh and refrigerated samples of shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) collected from retailers in
Natal (Rio Grande do Norte, Northeastern Brazil) tested positive for Vibrio parahaemolyticus. The
Kanagawa test and multiplex PCR assays were used to detect TDH and TRH hemolysins and the tdh, trh and
tlh genes, respectively. All strains were Kanagawa-negative and tlh-positive. Antibiotic susceptibility testing
was done for seven antibiotics by the agar diffusion technique. Five strains (50%) presented multiple
antibiotic resistance to ampicillin (90%) and amikacin (60%), while two strains (20%) displayed
intermediate-level resistance to amikacin. All strains were sensitive to chloramphenicol. Intermediate-level
susceptibility and/or resistance to other antibiotics ranged from 10 to 90%, with emphasis on the observed
growing intermediate-level resistance to ciprofloxacin. Half our isolates yielded a multiple antibiotic
resistance index above 0.2 (range: 0.14–0.29), indicating a considerable risk of propagation of antibiotic
resistance throughout the food chain. | pt_BR |
