Abstract:
The isolated bacterial strain ry01 from
Ictalunes punctatus with ulcer disease was identified as
Aeromonas salmonicida subsp.
achromogenes by analyzing biochemical reactions and 16S rDNA gene sequence. The ry01-injected fish showed similar morphological and biochemical characteristics to those from naturally infected fish, supporting that
Aeromonas salmonicida subsp.
achromogenes was the pathogen to
Ictalunes punctatus. The
LD50was 4.17×10
6 CFU/mL according to the Reed-Muench method. The isolated bacterial strain ry01 was highly sensitive to doxycycline and levofloxacin. This study provides theoretical basis for the prevention and control the disease of
Ictalunes punctatus.
