OCA14. Characteristics of the author's contributionThe article focuses on the occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in fish and seafood products available in Slovak retail chains. The work was carried out under the leadership of Assoc. Prof. Lucie Bírošová, in the laboratories of the FCHPT department at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, but based on many years of experience, the co-author, Jana Koščová, participated in writing the article. The department where she works has long been dedicated to investigating antibiotic resistance, especially with a focus on the One World, One Health concept.
OCA15. Annotation of the output with contextual information concerning the description of creative process and the content of the research/artistic/other activity, etc.Currently, the trend is Asian foods that are dietary, but when consuming them, it is necessary to think about the microbial contamination of these foods. The aim of the work was to determine whether resistant bacteria also occur in foods prepared in most cases from raw fish or seafood. Since these are foods that do not have a long tradition on the Slovak market, it is necessary to monitor the occurrence of resistant strains in them. Standard microbiological procedures were chosen for the research and while writing the article, the authors also devoted themselves to detailed studies of the given issue.
Other data
OCA16. Annotation of the output in EnglishThe consumption of sushi or poke has grown globally. However, this type of dish often contains raw fish or seafood; therefore, it can pose a microbial risk for consumers. This study deals with the occurrence of total and antibiotic-resistant coliform bacteria and enterococci in fish and seafood as well as sushi and poke bought from Slovak retail (restaurants and fast food). Antibiotic-resistant isolates were predominantly resistant to gentamicin, chloramphenicol and tetracycline. In 13% of resistant isolates was detected efflux pumps overproduction, and in four isolates was detected the tetA resistance gene. Our results point to poor hygiene in some establishments. The prevention of the antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread would be in better stewardship and improved monitoring of sanitation.

OCA18. Characteristics of the output's impact on socio-economic practiceGiven that the authors of the study confirmed the presence of antibiotic-resistant strains in the monitored fish and seafood foods, it is necessary to place greater emphasis on the hygiene of product processing, their origin, and continuous monitoring of the quality of the raw materials used to prepare these dishes, including by testing for the presence of resistant bacteria.
OCA19. Characteristics of the output and related activities' impact on the educational processIt is very important for medical education to understand the dangers of improper use of antimicrobial agents, especially antibiotics, in the prevention or treatment of diseases. However, resistant strains can also be spread through food, and therefore it is essential that students master the necessary methodologies and procedures necessary to detect the presence of resistant bacteria occurring in food or antibiotic residues.
