Abstract:
Antimicrobial or antibiotic resistance (AMR) as we all know is the ability of a pathogen to survive exposure to an antimicrobial agent that was previously an effective treatment. The AMR has been a growing threat to the health of humans and animals alike and has been identified as a major risk factor by the World Health Organization (WHO). Humans and animals have succumbed to antimicrobial-resistant pathogens and have led to nearly 1 million deaths worldwide. Fishes and other aquacultured species have also been affected by the growing threat of AMR. The current study aimed at providing a brief of the current scenario of AMR in Indian aquaculture.
