Abstract:Despite all the technical-scientific knowledge about streptococcosis, the high prevalence of bacterial infections caused by Streptococcus spp. in Nile tilapia farming implies the frequent, often irresponsible, use of antibiotics.

Research have shown that the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in farmed fish is one of the main challenges faced in aquaculture… Show more
