December 12th, 2008
In this recently published article, scientists in India conducted a study "To evaluate the diversity of Vibrio anguillarum isolates from vibriosis-infected Penaeus monodon collected from east coast of India. Thirty-six V. anguillarum were cultured from specific V. anguillarum medium, further identified using biochemical tests and confirmed by PCR detection of rpoN gene. Randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis revealed that in each location, the selected V. anguillarum isolates produced a unique band pattern, indicating that the members of this species are genetically heterogeneous." "Antibiotic sensitivity results showed that 85%, 72%, 70%, 58%, 45% and 34% of the...
