Abstract

The sensitivity of 50 isolates of Vibrio spp. isolated from edible portion of muscle of Tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) was collate using selectively used antibiotics. The in vitro susceptibility of the isolates was designed by disc diffusion method employing discs contained Doxycycline, Chloramphenicol, Ofloxacin, Erythromycin, Enrofloxacin and Ciprofloxacin. Further studies explain Erythromycin and Chloramphenicol shows high degree of bacterial resistance in Tiger shrimps.
