A Novel and Validated Protocol for Performing MIC Tests to Determine the Susceptibility of Piscirickettsia salmonis Isolates to Florfenicol and Oxytetracycline
This paper presents a validated protocol, using a novel, specifically formulated medium, to perform broth microdilution antimicrobial susceptibility assays of the salmonid bacterial pathogen Piscirickettsia salmonis. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) for florfenicol and oxytetracycline against 58 P. salmonis isolates recovered from various outbreaks occurred in Chilean salmonid farms ...
متن کاملBroth microdilution protocol for minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) determinations of the intracellular salmonid pathogen Piscirickettsia salmonis to florfenicol and oxytetracycline.
Piscirickettsia salmonis is a facultative intracellular Gram-negative bacterium (Mauel, Ware & Smith 2008; Mikalsen et al. 2008) originally isolated from fish in Chile and constitutes one of the main problems in farmed salmonids and marine fish worldwide (see reviews by Almendras & Fuentealba 1997; Mauel & Miller 2002; Fryer & Hedrick 2003). This fastidious pathogen was first observed in southe...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Susceptibility of Flavobacterium psychrophilum from Chilean Salmon Farms and Their Epidemiological Cut-Off Values Using Agar Dilution and Disk Diffusion Methods
Flavobacterium psychrophilum is the most important bacterial pathogen for freshwater farmed salmonids in Chile. The aims of this study were to determine the susceptibility to antimicrobials used in fish farming of Chilean isolates and to calculate their epidemiological cut-off (COWT) values. A number of 125 Chilean isolates of F. psychrophilum were isolated from reared salmonids presenting clin...
متن کاملThe Genome Sequence of an Oxytetracycline-Resistant Isolate of the Fish Pathogen Piscirickettsia salmonis Harbors a Multidrug Resistance Plasmid
The amount of antibiotics needed to counteract frequent piscirickettsiosis outbreaks is a major concern for the Chilean salmon industry. Resistance to antibiotics may contribute to this issue. To understand the genetics underlying Piscirickettsia salmonis-resistant phenotypes, the genome of AY3800B, an oxytetracycline-resistant isolate bearing a multidrug resistance plasmid, is presented here.
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility of Flavobacterium psychrophilum isolates
16 Routine application of antimicrobials is the current treatment of choice for rainbow trout 17 fry syndrome (RTFS) or bacterial coldwater disease (BCWD) caused by Flavobacterium 18 psychrophilum. In this study, the antimicrobial susceptibilities of 133 F. psychrophilum 19 isolates, 118 of which were from the UK, were evaluated by broth microdilution and disc 20 diffusion methods following VET...
