Abstract:The apparent absence of established dosage regime for medicating tilapia with fluoroquinolones in the country necessitated investigating the absorption and tissue distribution of ciprofloxacin, since dosage regimes conform to accepted standards of pharmacokinetic studies. Ciprofloxacin pharmacokinetic studies were conducted on 76 hybrid tilapia weighing between 100 and 200 grams divided into two groups with each subjected to bath administration of ciprofloxacin at two different concentrations. The fishes in gr… Show more
“…Ciprofloxacin has been used to treat bacterial infections in a number of different fish species (Nouws et al 1988, Kumar et al 2015, Okoroafor et al 2017, although it is important to note certain specific aspects of the present study. The first infection was well succeeded using ciprofloxacin.…”
A caseous lesion was recorded for the first time in a captive longsnout seahorse (Hippocampus reidi Ginsburg, 1933). The infection was caused by Enterobacter aerogenes and a secondary infection by Klebsiella pneumoniae caused the animal's death.
