Abstract
Occurence of motile aeromonads, Aeromonas hydrophila, A.caviae and A. sobria in murrels (Channa striata) affected with Epizootic Ulcerative Syndrome is reported. API 20 NE was found useful with additional confirmatory tests in identification of aeromonads. All three Aeromonas spp. were found sensitive to bacitracin, chloramphenicol, chlortetracycline and tetracycline at 10, 30, 30 and 30 microgram per disc, respectively. The same isolates showed difference in their sensitivity to kanamycin, polymyxin-B and oxytetracycline. The top sediment layer samples collected from different ponds were found to contain aeromanads in the range 2 to 5 log CFU per gram of the sample.
