Unraveling the pathogenic potential, virulence traits, and antibiotic resistance genes of multidrug-resistant Streptococcus agalactiae strains retrieved from Nile tilapia
Briefly, this study highpoints the development of MDR S. agalactiae in O. niloticus, affirming a public health risk. The emerging MDR S. agalactiae strains in O. niloticus frequently harbor the cfb, hylB, lmb, and cylE virulence genes, and the pbp1A, aac(6')aph(2''), tetM or tetK, and ermB or ermA resistance genes.
