Identification and characterization of marine pathogenic vibrios in cultured golden pompano (Trachinotus ovatus) in Guangxi,China

The causative agent responsible for vibriosis in tropical fish aquaculture, Vibrio harveyi, has become a major bacterial pathogen. Studies suggest that this bacterium has developed resistance to antibiotics commonly used in aquaculture. In view of this situation and the requirement for the proposed...
