Abstract

The present study was carried out to investigate the common bacterial infections of some saltwater fishes in Red Sea at Hurghada, Egypt. One hundred and twenty fishes of different species including Hipposcarus harid, Scarus ferrugineus and Scarus niger were subjected to bacteriological investigations.The bacteria isolated from the vital organs were phenotypically identified as Vibrio logei, V. ichthyoenteri, V. fischeri, Moritella marina, Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida and Edwardsiella tarda, in addition to two isolates of the genus Streptococcus. Experimental challenge with the dominant isolate, V. logei, proved its pathogenicity to H. harid with 86.7% mortality rate. Histopathological investigations of experimentally infected fish disclosed prominent pathological alterations in vital organs including liver and kidney. The antibiotic sensitivity of V. logei, revealed its sensitivity to Norfloxacin, Ciprofloxacin and Ofloxacin.
