    Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a halophilic Gram-negative bacterium that is considered among
    gastrointestinal pathogens. Thirty isolates were tested for their susceptibility using 14 different
    antibiotics. One V. parahaemolyticus isolate was resistant to 10 antibiotics (cefotaxime,
    ceftazidime, tetracycline, amikacin, ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, ofloxacin, ampicillin,
    amoxicillin-calv-acid, and cefepime). The V. parahaemolyticus isolates were resistant to
    ampicillin (90%), amoxicillin–clavulanic acid (63.3%), cefotaxime (60%), ceftazidime (46.7%),
    cefepime (50%), tetracycline (36.6%), and amikacin (26.7%). However, the isolates were highly
    susceptible to imipenem (100%), and piperacillin and gentamicin (96.7%). Approximately
    55% of the isolates showed a multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) index of >0.2, thereby
    indicating the high risk of sources where these isolates originated. The occurrence of MAR
    asserted the importance of determining drug susceptibility and monitoring the antimicrobial
    resistance profile to improve and ensure food safety and public health.
