Microbiological and cytological characterization of coelomic fluid from three captive endangered amphibian Gastrotheca species with edema syndrome: Preliminary analysis.
Abstract:Objective: Edema syndrome is highly prevalent but under researched in captive frogs around the world. The objective of the present study was to characterize at a basic microbiological and cytological level the edema fluid of 20 individuals of the genus Gastrotheca to determine the presence of possible anaerobic and aerobic bacteria.
Results: Fourteen types of bacteria were identified in the edema fluid, twelve of them at the species level ( Pasteurella haemolytica , Hafnia alvei , Enterobacter agglomerans , Ae… Show more
