The objective of this study was to determine the presence and density as well as the antibiotic profile of Vibrio cholerae isolated from ornamental gold fish (Carassius auratus).A total of 175 ornamental gold fish (Carassius auratus) were analyzed for the presence of Vibrio cholerae bacteria. Infected and moribund gold fishes skin, gill and intestine were collected for the bacteriological investigation in the month of March 2017 to December 2017at a local breeding farm in Chennai. The obtained samples were confirmed by polymerase chain reaction-plating on TCBS agar methods, V. cholerae was detected in 50 samples and also V. cholerae O139 was detected in 14 samples, with a density ranging between Ë‚ 3.5 to 85.0 MPN/g respectively. The isolated V cholerae were further subjected to anti... view more»
