Determination of antibiotic resistance sensitivity of Aeromonas sobria isolated from Green terror (Andinoacara rivulatus)

Abstract

Motil Aeromonas species are responsible for the formation of significant hemorrhagic septicemia in freshwater fish. Aeromonas are characteristic freshwater bacteria. They are often found in the ecosystem due to their being mobile. It is pathogenic in water, in various water creatures and in humans. In this study, it was determined that the bacterial strains obtained from Green terror (Andinoacara rivulatus) were Gram-negative, rod-shaped. VITEK-2 compact system is used for identification. Species have been identified as Aeromonas sobria. Aeromonas isolates were evaluated by 12 different antimicrobial agents in antimicrobial activity against the disk diffusion method. While cefquinome was found to be the most effective in the tested antimicrobials, the lowest sensitivity was determined against trimethoprim / sulphamethoxazole.
