Abstract in English
A total of 30 water samples and 45 infected fish (carp, Cyprinus carpio) were
collected from freshwater fish farm (Dam of 16 Tishreen-Lattakia) and
analysed bacteriological. Macroscopic examinations of infected fish had showed
the presence of haemorrhagic skin lesions with brown or red spots throughout
their skin. A total of 64 Aeromonas strains were isolated. The Aeromonas
isolates were distributed as follows: Aeromonas hydrophila (34, 53%), A. caviae
(16, 25%), A. sobria (9, 14%) and (5, 8%) of unidentified aeromonads.
Collectively, Aeromonas spp. are considered as opportunistic causative agents
of human gastroenteritis and other infections. Antibiotic susceptibility tests
were carried on all strains of isolated Aeromonas spp. using twenty different
antibiotics by agar disk diffusion method.
