The antibacterial activities of aditoprim and its efficacy in the treatment of swine streptococcosis

Aditoprim (ADP) has potential use as an antimicrobial agent in animals. However, its pharmacodynamic properties have not been systematically studied yet. In this study, the in vitro antibacterial activities of ADP and its main metabolites were assayed, and the in vivo antibacterial efficacy of ADP for the treatment of swine streptococcosis was evaluated. It was shown that Salmonella and Strepto...

Feed-based vaccination regime against streptococcosis in red tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus x Oreochromis mossambicus

BACKGROUND Streptococcosis is an important disease of tilapia throughout the world. In Malaysia, streptococcosis outbreak was commonly reported during the 3-month period of high water temperature between April and July. This study describes the duration of protection following single and double booster dose regimes against streptococcosis in tilapia using a feed-based vaccine containing formali...

Short Communication:Effects of Streptococcinum, Hepar Sulfur, Rosmarinus officinalis and erythromycin on cultured rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) with experimental streptococcosis

Molecular identification of some causative agents of warm-water streptococcosis by M-PCR in cultured rainbow trout, Chaharmahal - Bakhtiari Province, Iran

Streptococcosis has been defined as a hemorrhagic septicemia in many fish species especially rainbow trout. This disease causes serious economic losses due to high mortality in fish and the bacteria responsible is also considered as a zoonotic pathogen. The aim of this study was identification of different causative agents of warm water streptococcosis and evaluation of the capsule gene in Lact...

Distribution and Molecular identification of some causative agents of streptococcosis isolated from farmed rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum) in Iran

Over the past few years, the syndrome of streptococcosis has been associated with outbreaks in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, Walbaum) and caused significant economic losses in the aquaculture industry in Iran. The main purpose of this work was molecular identification of some causative agents of streptococcosis in rainbow trout. A total of 520 samples were collected from the head kidney o...

The indirect fluorescent antibody technique for the rapid identification of streptococcosis of rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri).

The indirect fluorescent antibody technique has been used successfully for the rapid serological identification of the Streptococcus sp. responsible for streptococcosis of rainbow trout. This technique has been used to identify the Streptococcus sp. in pure cultures and smears made from experimentally infected and diseased fish.
