This study's goal was to look into the antibiotic resistance of pathogenic bacteria, mainly Escherichia coli, Salmonella, and Vibrio species, in the shrimp farming facilities of Bagerhat (Bangladesh). Both Penaeus monodon and Macrobrachium rosenbergii farms provided sediment samples, and the Macrobrachium rosenbergii facility provided shrimp samples. Five Enterobacterales (Proteus penneri, Proteus alimentorum, Morganella morganii, Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. xiangfangensis, and Plesiomonas shigelloides) were discovered, but not the previously listed bacteria. The presence of Enterobacter hormaechei subsp. xiangfangensis in a shrimp farm has never been before reported. Nine antibiotics were chosen for testing for antibiotic resistance: ampicillin, gentamicin, chloramphenicol, oxytetracycline, nitrofurantoin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, azithromycin, and co-trimoxazole. The majority (88.9%) had at least one resistant strain. 78.0% of isolates from various sources were 29.3% of the isolates were found to be multidrug resistant and to be resistant to at least one antibiotic. The results of this experiment highlight that antimicrobial-resistant bacteria may be an issue for shrimp farms in Bagerhat despite the small number of samples examined—just nine in total. The health of consumers and the quality of shrimp may suffer as a result.
