Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance has become a global threat to both animal and human health, with its threat being doubled by increased usage of antibiotics in aquaculture sector. The present study was aimed in revealing the antimicrobial resistance pattern associated with selected digestive tract microbial community in cultured Penaeus vannamei. A total of 173 isolates were collected and characterised from the digestive tract of cultured shrimps, collected from six different regions of Maharashtra and Gujarat. Of which, 31 (21.5%) were biochemically identified as Pseudomonas spp, 30 (20.8%) were identified as Aeromonas spp and 26 (18.2%) were identified as Pseudoalteromonas spp and tested against 12 different antibiotics for the detection of antibiotic resistance. Results revealed that a high percentage of the isolates were resistant to Ampicillin, Cephalothin, Aztreonam and Erythromycin, along with high prevalence of multidrug resistance.
