Understanding the transfer and persistence of antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture using a model teleost gut system
Our findings highlight the role of the commensal teleost gut flora as a reservoir for AMR even once antimicrobial selective pressure has been withdrawn. Our system also provides a model to study how different treatment regimens and interventions may be deployed to mitigate AMR persistence.
