Pseudomonas Infections in Nile Tilapia (O. niloticus) from Ethiopian Aquaculture Ponds: Phenotypic, Molecular Detection, and Antibiogram
Overview Nile tilapia (O. niloticus) is a cornerstone of aquaculture in many countries, providing a reliable protein source. In Ethiopia, rapid growth of aquaculture has been accompanied by concerns about bacterial pathogens, particularly Pseudomonas spp., which can threaten yield and raise public health considerations due to antimicrobial resistance. A cross‑sectional study conducted from December 2022…

Phenotypic, Molecular Detection, and Antibiogram Analysis of Pseudomonas Species in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) from Ethiopian Aquaculture Ponds
Introduction Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a cornerstone of global aquaculture, prized for fast growth and adaptability. In Ethiopia, expanding aquaculture brings attention to bacterial pathogens that threaten productivity and public health. Among these, Pseudomonas spp. are ubiquitous Gram-negative bacteria capable of causing disease in fish and posing zoonotic risks. This article summarizes a study…
