Fish were inoculated with various microorganisms present in wastewater. A threshold concentration was determined over which these microorganisms were recovered from the muscles. The threshold concentrations were different for bacteria, bacteriophages, and polio 1 LSc virus. The threshold values were lower when fish were inoculated than when they were immersed in water containing these organisms...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of polyurethane foam containing silver nanoparticles synthesized by Verbena officinalis leaf extract in controlling of Yersinia ruckeri in treatment of water tanks of rainbow trout farming. Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles is done with 2mM silver nitrate solution and Verbena officinalis extract. To study antibacterial effects of the produ...

The aim of the present study was to determine the level of antibiotic resistance patterns of bacterial isolates from Eastern Mediterranean fish in Turkey. The resistance of 93 Enterobacteriaceae isolates from gills to 10 different antibiotics belonging 7 classes (which most using in Turkey), was investigated by agar diffusion method. A total 13 species of bacteria were isolated: the most common...

The occurrence of fish mycobacteriosis in two goldfish, Carassius auratus and a red eyed tetra, Moenkhausia sanctaefilomenae was reported in Malaysia (ANDERSON et al., 1987).The disease was diagnosed based on typical morphology of fish tubercles, the presence of acid-fast bacteria in smears and granulomas, and the isolation of Mycobacterium sp.. Histopathological examina tion of the diseased fi...

Our study was focused on characterization of dominant Bacillus bacteria isolated from the digestive tract of Oncorhynchus mykiss. After 8 weeks, the fish fed with probiotic-free diet were dissected under strictly controlled conditions. Fish intestines were eviscerated and its content diluted to 10−4 using Ringer solution. Two isolated bacteria were Gram-positive, catalase-positive, and oxidase-...

Streptococcus iniae is one of the most important agents that causes high mortality and losses in rainbow trout farms in Iran and the world. These bacteria can affects the consumers and people who deal with aquaculture via affected fish. So, viability of this bacterium in frozen fish and fish product can be useful for health care of consumers. A total of 90 rainbow trout, with average weight of ...

This is a rare case report of systemic allergic reaction to fish allergen ingested through breast milk. Mother ate raw fish more than 3 times a week. Her consumption of fish was associated with urticaria and wheeze in an infant via breast-feeding. Fish-specific IgE antibodies were detected by skin prick test but not by in vitro IgE test. This case demonstrates that fish protein ingested by moth...
