Abstract:

In order to determine the cause of disease in tilapia, the dying fish was carried out in sterile, a strain of bacterium (GXKJDX111) was isolated from the heart, through morphological observation, physiological and biochemical identification and 16S rDNA analysis, we identified the isolate as Citrobacter freundii, the results of drug sensitivity test showed that the isolate had very strong resistance, among the 20 kinds of drugs tested, the isolate was resistant to 13 kinds of drugs, including enrofloxacin, penicillin and so on, and had the sensitivity to 5 kinds of medicines, including ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, cefadroxil, piperacillin, Shubactam etc. Artificial infection showed that the bacterium had strong pathogenicity to grass carp, Pelteobagrus fulvidraco, tilapia and Procyprismerus. The result clarified the causes of the prevalence of tilapia, and could guide the farmers to use drugs reasonablely in the breeding process.

Key words: tilapia; Citrobacter freundii; 16S rDNA; drug resistance
