Abstract: Anadara granosa (blood cockles), also known as kerang is a very popular seafood in Malaysia and South East Asia. In 2015, there has been a drastic reduction in the harvest and one of the main reasons is due to the deteriorating water quality in the cockles' breeding environment. Thus, these cockles are exposed and at high risk of being contaminated by pathogenic microorganism because they are filter-feeder organism. Most of the researches on Anadara granosa have focused on only few selected organisms. The overall microbiological assessment of the cockles is lacking therefore this study aimed to determine the types of pathogenic bacteria in blood cockles, Anadara granosa and their antibiotic susceptibility pattern. Thirty pooled sample of Anadara granosa were purchased from 15 wet markets and supermarkets within Klang Valley. All samples were subjected to isolation and identification using standard conventional method. A total of 85 isolates were successfully isolated and all were gram negative bacteria. Antibiotic susceptibility test was performed for the different types of bacteria obtained. All isolates were found to be resistant to Ampicilin (10 μg) and were sensitive to Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (25μg). In conclusion, this study showed that cockles are exposed to highly pathogenic bacteria and there is presence of antibiotic resistance. (More)
