Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the microbiological quality and prevalence of pathogenic bacteria viz. Vibrio cholerae, E. coli, Salmonella spp. in fish and shellfish from domestic markets of West Bengal, India. Fresh Penaeus monodon, Macrobrachium rozenbergii, Labeo rohita, Catla catla, Cirhinnus mrigala were examined for total bacterial and faecal coliform loads and presence of Vibrio cholerae, E. coli, Salmonella spp by culture methods. While the total plate counts of bacteria were within the acceptable or marginally acceptable limits for most samples, fishes were contaminated with faecal coliforms indicating poor sanitary hygienic condition. The specific pathogens like Vibrio cholerae and Salmonella spp were also detected in fish and shellfish samples. Antibiotic sensitivity tests showed that the pathogens were resistant to antibiotics raising serious public health concerns.
