Sažetak
The significant anthropogenic influence on the marine ecosystems can be observed on many levels and a widespread phenomenon is the continuous spreading of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) determinants among bacteria. Gram-negative bacteria producers of extended-spectrum-beta- lactamases (ESBLs) show the highest resistance rate against β-lactam antibiotics [1] and may also show multidrug resistance (MDR) [2]. The bio-monitoring of AMR is required, especially in the coastal areas [3] and we propose that wild animals, such as sea turtles, may serve as sentinels as they have no history of therapeutic antibiotic exposure.
