This research aims to investigate the presence of toxic genes and antibiotic resistance in Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolated from fish in the Caspian Sea.
Isolates were collected from caught fish in the Caspian Sea.
Antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed to identify multi-drug resistance patterns.
Genetic analysis was conducted to detect toxic gene presence.
Several Vibrio parahaemolyticus isolates displayed multi-drug resistance (MDR).
Presence of specific toxic genes was confirmed in multiple isolates.
Findings indicate a potential risk to public health from seafood consumption.
