The marketing of fish has shown substantial increase; however, their place of origin and ways of handling and storage may pose health risk. The microorganisms in the food chain and in capture environments cause concern over the risk of disease transmission and the multiple resistance to several drugs. This study aimed at characterizing the antimicrobial resistance of 191 strains of Escherichia coli isolated from 20 fish samples, ten saltwater samples: (5) mackerel (S. cavalla) and (5) snapper (L. purpureus) and ten freshwater samples: (5) curimatà (P. cearenses) and (5) tilapia (O. niloticus), sold in street markets of the city of Fortaleza (Cearà State), Brazil. The strains were isolated, identified and then subjected to susceptibility testing (20 antibiotics) in order to provide the resistance profile. Moreover, it was also performed: Multiple Resistance Index (MRI), the Antimicrobial Resistance Index (ARI), Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), plasmid "cure" and analysis of plasmid profile through DNA extraction. Strains isolated from marine and freshwater fish species showed distinct multidrug resistance profiles, but with broad resistance to penicillins and tetracyclines. There was high frequency of saltwater isolates resistant to chloramphenicol. Overall, low resistance to betalactamase inhibitors (ampicillin/sulbactam, and piperacillin/tazobactam) and aminoglycosides was observed, excepting streptomycin. The MRI has shown that about 50% of the isolates were resistant to five of the twenty tested antimicrobials, highlighting the strains from mackerel (55.5%). As for MIC, the percentage of isolates resistant to NAL, CIP, MFX, SUT and AMO stood out in saltwater fish strains. For bacteria from freshwater, greater resistance to high concentrations of antimicrobials were most significant for AMO, SUL and NAL. Chromosomal profiles in freshwater isolates were mostly composed of amoxicillin, ampicillin, streptomycin, and sulfametazol/trimethoprim. For saltwater fish, there was predominance of quinolones. Analysis of the plasmid DNA showed the occurrence of a heterogeneous population of small plasmids distributed in various profiles. The greater diversity and lower molecular weight were observed in strains of marine fish samples. Thus, it is emphasized that the circulation of pathogenic E. coli with antimicrobial resistance characteristics poses a risk to the aquatic ecosystem and the marketing environment, there being need for continued vigilance to contaminant bacterial to fish so that the safety of these foods is guaranteed.
