Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to establish epidemiological cut-off values for the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 10 antimicrobial agents against the bacteria Vibrio parahaemolyticus using standardized testing methods.
  • Eight laboratories conducted broth microdilution tests at two different temperatures (35°C and 28°C) to assess the effect of incubation temperature on MIC values, finding that many values were consistent across both temperatures.
  • The generated data will be submitted to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute to help set international standards for interpreting antimicrobial susceptibility tests for this species.

Here, we describe the skin mucosa microbiome of channel catfish () before and after exposure to chloramine-T trihydrate. We also describe the aquaria water microbiome after the post-treatment period. These data provide a unique baseline description of skin mucosa and aquaria water microbiome from catfish reared in research aquaria.

and other closely related 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 cutoff values (ECVs) to determine whether a bacterial isolate has developed decreased susceptibility to an antimicrobial.

, the causative agent of columnaris disease in a large variety of freshwater fish, is a major problem in commercial aquaculture. A limited number of antimicrobial therapies are available to control this disease; therefore, these agents must be used judiciously. To facilitate effective monitoring for changes in susceptibility, the Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) has a standard broth microdilution test method specific for .
