C. E. Starliper, R.K. Cooper
1998, Journal of Aquatic Animal Health (10) 221-229
Strains of Aeromonas salmonicida (n = 585) were collected from covertly infected and diseased salmonid hosts from 12 hatcheries in the eastern United States. Strains and sites were selected because of their potential for harboring antimicrobial resistance, in particular, to Romet™. Resistance to Romet was displayed by 315...
