Effects of oral oxytetracycline-dosing on the development of antibiotic-resistance in the intestinal bacterial flora of monosex (all-male) Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus fries
Abstract:Effect of oxytetracycline (OTC) on the intestinal bacterial load and development of antibiotic-resistance in monosex (allmale) Nile tilapia(Oreochromis niloticus) fries were investigated under laboratory condition. The Nile tilapia fries were fed with OTC-diets at 80 (1X) and 800 mg/kg biomass/day (10X) for 10 consecutive days and compared with control. The OTC-dosing at 1X and 10X levels caused 0.23% and 1.52% mortalities, respectively. The feed intake was reduced by 8.75% in 1X and 31.25% in 10X groups durin… Show more
