Popis: Fish gut microbiota, encompassing a colossal reserve of microbes represents a dynamic ecosystem, influenced by a myriad of environmental and host factors. The current study presents a comprehensive insight into Sardinella longiceps gut microbiome using whole metagenome shotgun sequencing. Taxonomic profiling identified the predominance of phylum Proteobacteria, comprising of Photobacterium, Vibrio and Shewanella sp. Functional annotation revealed the dominance of Clustering based subsystems, Carbohydrate, and Amino acids and derivatives. Analysis of Virulence, disease and defense subsystem identified genes conferring resistance to antibiotics and toxic compounds, like multidrug resistance efflux pumps and resistance genes for fluoroquinolones and heavy metals like cobalt, zinc, cadmium and copper. The presence of overlapping genetic mechanisms of resistance to antibiotics and heavy metals, like the efflux pumps is a serious cause of concern as it is likely to aggravate co-selection pressure, leading to an increased dissemination of these resistance genes to fish and humans.
