The standard, in vitro, minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 5 antimicrobials; chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, norfloxacin and nalidixic acid were evaluated against vibrios isolated from diseased black tiger shrimps Penaeus monodon. One hundred and ninety-seven pathogenic vibrio isolates obtained from different shrimp culture areas in Thailand during March 2001-January 2002 were, V. fluvialis (50 isolates, 25.38%), V. damsela (41 isolates, 20.81%), V. vulnificus (39 isolates, 19.80%), V. parahaemolyticus (28 isolates, 14.21%), V. cholerae (25 isolates, 12.69%) and V. alginolyticus (14 isolates, 7.11%). MICs were examined for all the tested antimicrobials and the degree of susceptibility of shrimp vibrio pathogens to each …
