abstract = {The aquatic retail products are among the potential reservoirs of antimicrobial resistant microorganisms. The main objective of this study was to analyze the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns and integrons and their associated Gene Cassettes (GCs) of Escherichia coli isolates from aquatic retail products. E. coli isolates were obtained from 450 aquatic retail products samples at different markets in Zhejiang Province, China. Antimicrobial resistance among the selected isolates was studied against 19 different antibiotics by disk diffusion method and all isolates were detected for the presence of integrase genes and Gene Cassettes (GCs) using PCR assays. The results showed that a total of 181 (40.22%) E. coli were obtained and the resistance pattern in the isolates was highly variable and significant differences were observed between seven antibiotics (p},
