“…The relative abundance of Elizabethkingia was higher in the control group than in the other groups and the gentamicin bath did not have an inhibitory effect. Elizabethkingia is pathogenic and has four known species, including Elizabethkingia miricola, which caused a multi-regional outbreak of meningitis-like cases in a Chinese black spotted frog farm in (Hu et al, 2017. Elizabethkingia was not sensitive to gentamicin in this study.…”

“…Studies have shown that gentamicin is effective for serious gram-negative bacterial infections (Wiedenhoft, Hayashi & Coffin, 2017). Pathogenic bacteria, such as Arcobacter butzleri (Rathlavath et al, 2017), Staphylococcus aureus (Awad et al, 2017), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Lamari, Chakroun & Rtimi, 2017), Acinetobacter (Jie et al, 2017) and Rahnella aquatilis (Lü et al, 2017), which cause diseases in aquatic animals, are all sensitive to gentamicin. Flavobacterium psychrophilum is a serious pathogen of salmonids.…”

Introduction Pathogenic bacteria limit the success of Rana dybowskii breeding. Gentamicin is used to treat R. dybowskii disease. To understand the effects of gentamicin on the composition and structure of the cutaneous bacterial community of R. dybowskii, three groups (control, gentamicin and recovery) were established in this study. Materials & Methods The V3–V4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene was analyzed in samples by high-throughput sequencing. Alpha diversity and beta diversity were evaluated to compare the cutaneous bacterial community diversity. Results A total of 1,159,668 valid sequences and 3,132 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were obtained from these three experimental groups. The number of OTUs obtained in the control group, gentamicin group and recovery group were 2,194, 2,288, and 2,047, respectively, and the number of shared OTUs was 1,313. The alpha diversity of the cutaneous bacterial community was not significantly affected by gentamicin, while beta diversity was significantly affected. Discussion & Conclusions The effect of a gentamicin bath on relative species abundance was greater than the effect on the species composition. The changes in Proteobacteria, Acinetobacter, and Chryseobacterium were significant, and reductions were observed after the recovery period. Six potentially pathogenic genera were detected, including Aeromonas, Citrobacter, Chryseobacterium, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus, and Streptococcus. Among them, Aeromonas and Chryseobacterium were significantly inhibited by the gentamicin bath. The results of this study provide a theoretical basis for the application of gentamicin in R. dybowskii breeding.

“…Sequence identity to other bacterial organisms was significantly lower, at 98% and below and mainly to Hafnia and Serratia species. While Hafnia and Serratia species are commonly isolated from finfish, sometimes being involved in opportunistic infections, reports of isolation of Rahnella and Rouxiella species mainly consist of R. aquatilis 38 . Although presence of opportunistic agents (e.g.…”

El Niño drives a widespread ulcerative skin disease outbreak in Galapagos marine fishes

Climate change increases local climatic variation and unpredictability, which can alter ecological interactions and trigger wildlife disease outbreaks. Here we describe an unprecedented multi-species outbreak of wild fish disease driven by a climate perturbation. The 2015–16 El Niño generated a +2.5 °C sea surface temperature anomaly in the Galapagos Islands lasting six months. This coincided with a novel ulcerative skin disease affecting 18 teleost species from 13 different families. Disease signs included scale loss and hemorrhagic ulcerated patches of skin, fin deterioration, lethargy, and erratic behavior. A bacterial culture isolated from skin lesions of two of the affected fish species was identified by sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene as a Rahnella spp. Disease prevalence rates were linearly correlated with density in three fish species. In January 2016, disease prevalence reached 51.1% in the ring-tailed damselfish Stegastes beebei (n = 570) and 18.7% in the king angelfish Holacanthus passer (n = 318), corresponding to 78% and 86% decreases in their populations relative to a 4.5-year baseline, respectively. We hypothesize that this outbreak was precipitated by the persistent warm temperatures and lack of planktonic productivity that characterize extreme El Niño events, which are predicted to increase in frequency with global warming.

“…The gram staining test was conducted by the Hucker method, and the morphological characteristics of three colonies were observed under a microscope prior to physiological and biochemical testing (Lü et al. 2017). Physiological and biochemical tests for isolate KCP‐516 were performed using a commercial microbacteria biochemical test system (Tianhe, Tianjin, China), including gelatinase (enzyme number 3.4.24.24; IUBMB 1992), oxidase (1.9.3.1), phenylalanine, citrate (Simmons), tartrate, malonate, gluconate, starch, glucose, galactose, mannose, xylose, fructose, sorbitol, mannitol, and inositol, among others.…”

Pseudomonas alcaligenes infection is rare in aquaculture. In this study, we provide the first report on the characterization of P. alcaligenes from koi (a variant of Common Carp Cyprinus carpio) in China. A gram‐negative bacterium was isolated from the diseased koi and was named KCP‐516. Morphological and biochemical tests as well as phylogenetic tree analyses derived from 16S ribosomal RNA, gyrase subunit A, and gyrase subunit B gene sequencing all strongly indicated that the isolate KCP‐516 was P. alcaligenes. In liquid medium, the optimal growth conditions were 25°C, 2.5% NaCl, and pH 8. The pathogenicity of the isolate was demonstrated in koi, with 7.0 × 104 CFU/g fish weight identified as the dose lethal to 50% of test fish. The results will provide a scientific reference for the diagnosis and treatment of P. alcaligenes infection.
