Bacterial Fish Pathogens

Studies on the Prevalence of E.Coli and Salmonella in Mullet Fish from Different Sources

“…was collected from Kafr El-Zayat region, which is characterized by the presence of high level of contamination because of factories sewage. This agrees with (Austin B & Austin D 1999) who reported that most of the microorganisms in fish tissue are thought to result from the surface, gills, or intestinal contamination, where microorganisms are adsorbed on the surfaces of the fish and found in their intestinal contents and muscle. Therefore, the initial microbial flora on the caught fish is dependent upon the contamination of the water, bottom sediment from the area of catch and the food entering the digestive tract.…”

Phenotypic and Genotypic Characterization of Some Pseudomonas sp. Associated with Burkholderia cepacia Isolated from Various Infected Fishes

“…It also causes severe economic losses and decreases fish farms efficiencies especially under culture conditions [6][7][8] such as overcrowding, low temperature where the highest natural mortalities were at 15°C to 20°C, injuries as inappropriate handling and transportation and secondary pathogen of damaged fish tissues [9][10][11][12][13][14]. Austin [2] suggested the reason for the widespread incidence of Pseudomonas sp.…”

Isolation of Enterobacteriaceae From Raw Seafoods Sold in Fish Markets in Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.

“…Austin and Austin (1985) have demonstrated the presence of Escherichia coli, Enterobactersp, Citrobactersp, Salmonella sp, Proteus sp, in fish that lives in contaminated marine water by domestic waste water. Priyanka Rani Majumdaret al (2014), stated that the untreated and the improper way of sewage disposal system in the water body is one of the main sources for microbial water contamination which results in the accumulation of these bacterial pathogenic species in the commercial edible fishes.…”
