Tiamulin 항생제가 Streptococcus parauberis KSP28에 감염된 넙치(Paralichthys olivaceus)에 나타내는 치료효과와 부작용

Abstract

The diseases caused by Streptococcus sp. are frequently outbreak in olive flounder aquaculture farms in South Korea, and antibiotics are often abused to control the disease. This results in resistant strains that cannot be treated with existing fisheries antibiotics. In order to apply to other antibiotics, research on use, dosage and safety are essential. Tiamulin is an antibiotic that has good activity against mycoplasma and Gram-positive bacteria. It is mainly used in swine, cattle and poultry. Streptococcus parauberis KSP28 infected flounder had the best therapeutic effect at 15 mg/kg when injected intramuscularly, and 15 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg had the same effect when administered orally. However, intramuscular injection showed inflammation and necrosis of the muscles, and glomerulonephritis, renal tubular atrophy, Bowman’s capsule expansion, and reticuloendothelial system activity at the high dose group. Therefore, it is not appropriate to apply tiamulin injection to olive flounder because of the serious side effects. In addition, further studies should identify side effects of oral tiamulin administration.
