TY - T1 - Occurrence of sul and tet(M) genes in bacterial community in Japanese marine aquaculture environment throughout the year : Profile comparison with Taiwanese and Finnish aquaculture waters SN - / UR - http://hdl.handle.net/10138/330958 T3 - A1 - Suzuki, Satoru; Nakanishi, Sayoko; Tamminen, Manu; Yokokawa, Taichi; Sato-Takabe, Yuki; Ohta, Kohei; Chou, Hsin-Yiu; Muziasari, Windi I.; Virta, Marko A2 - PB - Y1 - 2019 LA - eng AB - The use of antibiotics in aquaculture causes selection pressure for antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB). Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) may persist in ARB and the environment for long time even after stopping drug administration. Here we show monthly differences in the occurrences of genes conferring resistance to sulfonamides (i.e. sul1, sul2, sul3), and tetracyclines (tet(M)) in Japanese aquaculture seawater accompanied by records of drug administration. sul2 was found to persist throughou...
