- Abstract
Present study attempted to determine the prevalence of pathogenic microorganisms among the frozen sea fish samples: shrimp and prawn, and the canned sea fish samples: tuna and salmon, collected from local markets in Dhaka city, Bangladesh. Most of the samples were found to be heavily contaminated with pathogenic bacteria ranging from 1.6x105 to 6.7 x 109 cfu/g. Fungal growth was observed in all samples within a range of 1.3x104 - 3.8x106cfu/g. The study of antibiogram showed a number of pathogenic isolates to be drug-resistant. Such a prevalence of pathogens including the antibiotic resistant ones among the studied fish samples may claim a serious public heath risk.
