Re: Article - The facts about Antibiogram

The understanding and application of antibiogram in aquaculture in particular is of great importance for every fish farmer. The fish culture pond is just a microscopic part of the larger ecosystem. The lack of understanding and application of the antibiogram leads to abuse and misuse of antibiotics and other anti infective agents. The end effect is the proliferation of antibiotic resistant organisms. This results in higher costs of treatment of microbial infections in man and cultured fish.
In Nigeria most fish farmers use antibiotics irrationally and at inadequate dosing. I wish every fish farmer will read this article on ANTIBIOGRAM and apply its principle in the farm.
Thanks for the good job.
