Popis: DOI:10.26650/EuroJBiol.2018.346175Objective: Gilt-head seabream (Sparusaurata) is an important species for Turkish aquaculture and bacterial diseasesare one of the limiting factors for the production of this species. The aim ofthis study is the identification of the bacterial disease agents in culturedgilt-head seabream in Turkey and the determination of their antibacterialsusceptibilities. Materials and Methods: In this study, 27diseased gilt-head seabream samples between 3-130 g, showing various clinicalsymptoms, were examined bacteriologically. Bacterial isolates recovered frommoribund fish samples were identified by using standard bacteriological methodsand API 20E rapid identification strips. Antibiotic susceptibility tests of 10different substances against these isolates were determined by usingKirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Results: Vibrio anguillarum, V.scophthalmi, V. logei, V. harveyi, Pseudomonas anguilliseptica, P. stutzeri,Staphylococcus sp. and Micrococcus luteus isolates were isolated from diseasedfish samples as pure and mixed infection. It was detected that API 20E may giveerroneous results for fish pathogenic bacteria since they are not included inthe database of the kit. Generally, enrofloxacin, florphenicol andoxytetracycline were found to be the most effective antibiotics againstbacterial isolates. Conclusion: This study is the first reportfor V. scophthalmi, V. logei, V. harveyi, P. stutzeri and M. luteus infectionsof gilt-head seabream in Turkey.
