Abstract

In-vitro activities of chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, nalidixic acid and oxytetracycline
against antibiotic-sensitive luminous Vibrio harveyi, V.orientalis and
V.splendidus1 from penaeid shrimp hatchery were evaluated. The antibiotic
resistance rates for V.harveyi, V.orientalis and V.splendidus to chloramphenicol
(1.92x10-10-9.38x10-8) and ciprofloxacin (1.92x10-10-2.45x10-9) were very low
at 5 and 10 times of their respective minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC)
than at 2 times the MIC. The resistance rates for luminous bacteria to nalidixic
acid (4.02x10-9-1.45x10-2) and oxytetracycline (1.92x10-10-3.95x10-2) were found
to be higher than chloramphenicol and ciprofloxacin. Although ciprofloxacin
was effective in terms of MIC and induction of low level of resistant isolates,
chloramphenicol was more active in its ability to control antibiotic-sensitive
luminous bacteria.
