Sea Cucumber Disease Linked to Multidrug-Resistant Bacterial Strain

A single bacterial strain, *Pseudomonas putida* WL2, has been identified as the driver behind skin ulceration disease in sea cucumbers, and its genetic blueprint reveals a troubling level of preparedness. The pathogen's genome encodes a formidable arsenal for motility, immune evasion, and iron theft, while phenotypic testing confirms resistance to 19 antibiotics. This study provides the first complete genetic map of this threat, offering a clear, actionable framework for targeted treatment and environmental monitoring.
