Antibiotic resistance in bacteria isolated from Artemia nauplii and efficacy of formaldehyde to control bacterial load
نویسندگان
چکیده
A study was carried out to determine the antibiotic resistance in bacteria isolated from Artemia nauplii and the efficiency of formaldehyde to control the bacteria associated with Artemia nauplii. The total aerobic heterotrophic bacteria of Artemia nauplii was determined on seawater nutrient agar and TCBS agar, and ranged from 3.8=10 to 8.1=10 and 9.4=10 to 4.3=10 colony Ž . forming units CFU per nauplius on seawater nutrient agar and TCBS agar plates, respectively. Among these bacteria, 336 isolates were tested for their resistance to five antibiotics. The minimum inhibiting concentrations of chloramphenicol, erythromycin, nitrofurazone, oxytetracycline, tetracycline, formaldehyde and sodium hypochlorite for 336 isolates were recorded. The LC50 values of oxytetracycline, formaldehyde and sodium hypochlorite for Artemia nauplii were determined as 540.5, 293.1 and 5.6 mgrl, respectively, after 24 h of exposure. The efficacy of formaldehyde was compared with that of antibiotics and formaldehyde was found to be very effective in controlling the bacteria of Artemia nauplii. q 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

This study was conducted to evaluate the resistance to antibiotics in the western white shrimp propagation centers on pathogens of Vibrio bacteria. In Iran, the most important bacteria in the shrimp are the vibrio species. In Bushehr Province, due to the high efficacy of erythromycin antibiotics, streptomycyne oxytracycline and tremitoprim in bacterial diseases, were selected as the species. Th...
