Investigation for the presence of bacteria and antimicrobial resistance genes in sea snails (Rapana venosa)
Summary
Researchers investigated bacterial communities and antimicrobial resistance genes in the gut and meat of sea snails (Rapana venosa) collected from the Black Sea. The study found diverse bacterial isolates with varying antibiotic susceptibility profiles but confirmed the absence of carbapenemase, colistin, and beta-lactamase resistance genes among gut microbes.
Conclusions. The findings obtained not only provide data about the proportion of bacteria in the gut and meat of the sea snails and their antibiotic resistance/susceptibility, but also show the absence of carbapenemase, colistin, and β-lactamase resistant genes among bacterial isolates from sea snail gut microbes.

Symbiotic microbiome and metabolism profiles reveal the effects of induction by oysters on the metamorphosis of the carnivorous gastropod Rapana venosa
This study investigated how the presence of juvenile oysters triggers metamorphosis in the carnivorous sea snail Rapana venosa by altering the larva's gut microbiome and metabolic pathways. Understanding larval settlement biology in commercially important mollusks supports aquaculture development and management of invasive species.
Gut microbiota in parasite-transmitting gastropods
This review summarizes current knowledge about the gut microbiome of gastropod snails, particularly species that transmit parasites to humans and animals. Researchers found that factors including diet, habitat, and parasite infection status all influence the microbial communities living inside these snails. The study suggests that a better understanding of snail gut bacteria could lead to new biological approaches for controlling snail-borne diseases.
Identification of Pathogenic Bacteria in Blood Cockle (Anadara granosa) using 16S rRNA Gene
Researchers identified pathogenic bacteria in blood cockle (Anadara granosa) samples using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, characterizing the microbial contamination present in this widely consumed Indonesian seafood species. The study found multiple pathogenic bacterial genera in the cockle samples, raising food safety concerns about raw or improperly processed cockle consumption.
Exploring the Potential of Metatranscriptomics to Describe Microbial Communities and Their Effects in Molluscs
Metatranscriptomics revealed a more complete picture of mussel microbiomes — including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoans — than traditional 16S sequencing alone. The approach also identified host genes whose expression changed with pathogen load, providing new insights into how molluscs respond to microbial infections.
Escherichia coli Phylogenetic and Antimicrobial Pattern as an Indicator of Anthropogenic Impact on Threatened Freshwater Mussels
Researchers analyzed E. coli isolated from freshwater mussels (Margaritifera margaritifera and Potomida littoralis) in two Portuguese rivers with different levels of anthropogenic contamination, finding greater antibiotic resistance and more diverse phylogenetic profiles at the more contaminated site. The results suggest E. coli from freshwater mussels can serve as an indicator of antimicrobial resistance pressure from human activities.
