Disease is an increasing threat to reef-building corals. One of the few identified pathogens of coral disease is the bacterium Vibrio coralliilyticus. In Vibrio cholerae, infection by a bacterial virus (bacteriophage) results in the conversion of non-pathogenic strains to pathogenic strains and this can lead to cholera pandemics. Pathogenicity islands encoded in the V. cholerae genome play an i...

This study examined culturable skin microbiota that was associated with farmed European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax). Healthy were sampled during summer commercial harvest from one conventional fish farm where antibiotics are used, and another practicing a certified antibiotic-free aquaculture. Physicochemical microbiological analysis of seawater sediment performed, as well determination bact...

The susceptibility of 7 d old veliger larvae of the scallops Argopecten ventricosus and Nodipecten subnodosus, the penshell Atrina maura, and the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas to a pathogenic strain of Vibrio alginolyticus was investigated by challenging the larvae with different bacterial concentrations in a semi-static assay. The results indicate that the larvae of the 2 scallop species ar...

Abstract. Istiqomah I, Isnansetyo A, Murwantoko, Handayani DP, Lestari YN, Taslihan Permana IGN, Wijayanti E. 2023. Antibiotic resistance of emerging pathogenic bacteria hybrid grouper farming in Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 2493-2501. A is among the main coastal species Asian countries, yet vibriosis still a significant issue. Therefore, knowledge strains responsible for recent cases essential...

Highlights: Eschericia colli was the most contaminant bacteria among food samples from Warmadewa Cafeterias Further suggestions to increase hygiene in processing must be offered. Abstract : Foodborne diseases still remain a problem especially public areas. This study aimed identify pathogenic foods sold at cafeterias of Universitas Warmadewa, Denpasar, Indonesia. The presence identified using b...

In this research, antagonistic activity of two Bacillus species isolated from digestive tract of marine fish and culture pond of sea cucumber was studied. The inhibitory activity of Bacillus spp. isolates against some common pathogenic bacteria of fish was assessed using the agar diffusion method. The strain of B. subtilis G024 exhibited antimicrobial activity against Vibrio anguillarum, V. har...

AIMS To develop a multiplex PCR targeting the gyrB and pntA genes for Vibrio species differentiation. METHODS AND RESULTS Four pairs of primers targeting gyrB gene of Vibrios at genus level and pntA gene of Vibrio cholerae, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus were designed. This PCR method precisely identified 250 Vibrio species and demonstrated sensitivity in the range of 4 x 10(4) CF...
