Abstract |
|---|
MIC testing of Vibrio anguillarum recovered from diseased farmed Atlantic cod, revealed oxolinic acid MICs of
0.001, 0.06 and 16µg ml-1. Single gyrA Ser- Ile substitutions were identified at position 83 of intermediate and resistant strains, while a parC Ser-Leu substitution at position 85 was found only in the resistant strain.
