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.

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.
View Article and Find Full Text PDF, 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 .
