Prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria in tiger shrimp cultivated in Khulna district.

The production of black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) is one of the most important traded shrimp species of Bangladesh due to its higher market demand and price. Shrimp feed and antibiotics have been using to boost up production and protection of shrimp from diseases. However, the widespread and immense use of antibiotics in shrimp feed created a serious problem in the form of multi-drug resistant bacterial pathogens, which inevitably develop resistance to every new drug that is introduced. In the present study, we isolated and characterized bacteria from tiger shrimp which were resistant to some commonly used antibiotics in tiger shrimp cultivation. Samples were collected from 6 different sites of Botiaghata Upazila, Khulna.
