Prevalence and Antibiotic Resistance Phenotypes of Pseudomonas spp. in Fresh Fish Fillets
In fresh fish products, excessive loads of Pseudomonas can lead to their rapid spoilage. It iswise for Food Business Operators (FBOs) to consider its presence both in whole and prepared fishproducts. With the current study, we aimed to quantify Pseudomonas spp. in fresh fillets of Salmosalar, Gadus...
