Abstract
This study aimed to identify and characterize the causative agent of
microbial illnesses in a freshwater aquacultured Catla catla. Along with
water samples, a total of 10 fish samples exhibiting clinical indications of
illnesses such as hemorrhagic septicemia were gathered. Using morphological,
biochemical, and molecular methods, bacteria were characterized. Antibiotics
sensitivity test showed that isolate FP04, FP07 and FP10 were shown very
little sensitivity towards most of antibiotics. FP04 shown complete resistant
towards Cotramoxazole and Tetracycline, FP07 shown resistance against
Cotramoxazole while FP10 was fully resist to Nitrofurantoin antibiotic. All
water quality measurements, with the exception of temperature, ammonia, and
free CO2, were within normal limits. The existence of antibiotic-resistant
bacteria in C. catla afflicted by hemorrhagic septicemia is confirmed by
this investigation. By consuming these aquatic goods and by-products, humans
may become infected with these antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Therefore, for an
efficient disease control plan, the sensitivity of these bacteria to
antibiotics should be regularly assessed.
