Antimicrobial susceptibility and genetic characterisation of oxytetracycline‐resistant <i>Edwardsiella tarda</i> isolated from diseased eels

Abstract excerpt

Edwardsiellosis is one of the most important bacterial diseases in eels. Edwardsiella tarda (E. tarda) isolates (n=94) from diseased eels were screened against the eight most commonly used antimicrobial agents in aquaculture in Taiwan. These isolates were highly susceptible to ampicillin, amoxicillin, florfenicol, oxolinic acid and flumequine. In total, 20 of the 94 (21.3 per cent) isolates tested were resistant...
