A recent study has found a high prevalence and alarming levels of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Escherichia coli (E. coli) found in Nile tilapia, a commonly consumed fish. The research analyzed 828 samples from different parts of the fish, including the flesh, liver, kidney, and intestine. Across the samples, high occurrences of fecal coliforms (61.6%) and E. coli (53.0%) were detected. The intestine samples showed the highest prevalence of E. coli at 71.4%, while the liver and kidney samples had a prevalence of 45.7%.
