DOI: 10.1089/mdr.2021.0316
Abstract: Aeromonas hydrophila and other closely related Aeromonas species cause motile aeromonad septicemia, a common fish disease. The disease affects many aquaculture sectors potentially requiring antimicrobial treatments. Therefore, researchers and laboratory diagnosticians need criteria called epidemiological… read more here.
