Description of the research topic:
Aquaculture is an agri-sector with a growing importance as it is proven by the development of the National Aquaculture Strategy. The priorities of this strategy can be reached when basic research such as the investigation of public health risks with economic effects are done. The aim of this research is the identification and characterization of opportunistic bacteria isolated from surface water bodies (natural waters and fish farms) of Hungary such as priority pathogen species like Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. The results of this project can fill the gap of our knowledge about the microbial properties of Hungarian surface waters due to the evaluation of anthropogenic effects (e.g. the presence of drug residues) and the application of clinical methods for the evaluation of environmental safety risks of opportunistic bacteria.
The aims of this research are the establishment of a culture collection collected from surface water samples, the antibiotic resistance profiling of the isolated strains, the research of their antibiotic resistance mechanisms, their virulence and their relationships with phenotypic, molecular and phylogenetic methods. Besides the scientific novelty of the expected results, this research provides important information about the microbial condition of surface waters to the organizations, associations and companies using water bodies for recreation or for fish farming purposes and for the legislators, too.
