The selection of chemotherapy in aquatic animal medicine is not as straightforward as one might believe. A multitude of factors can impact effectiveness in situ. Some of these factors include the pathogen(s) present and their antimicrobial susceptibility, site(s) of infection, timing of treatment, host health/disease status, dose and regimen, water salinity, and water temperature. This article will focus on the first of these factors, and how susceptibility testing of target pathogen(s) can be used to both inform therapy decisions and assist in compliance with principles of prudent and judicious use.

Anti-microbial susceptibility test is useful to guide the clinician in the selection of antimicrobial agents to which clinical condition being treated will respond. There are three principal methods of antimicrobial susceptibility testing like disc diffusion, brothy dilution and agar dilution.

From 43.574 fluid nasopharynx speciments of  the chidren inpatient under six we isolated total 21.769 types bacteria with isolation rate : 49.95%. In which the highest isolation rate for H. influenza, S. pneumoniae and M. catarrhalis were 13,94%; 7,11%; 1,43% respectively. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing shown all the types of  for H. influenza, S. pneumoniae and M. catarrhalis good susses to Fosphomycine, S. pneumoniae and M. catarrhalis good susses to Imipenem, H. influenza good susses to Azithromycine, S. pneumoniae good susses to Penicilline and Piperacilline, M. catarrhalis good susses to Tobramycine and Ofloxacine. All of  H. influenza, S. pneumoniae and M. catarrhalis were reported resistance to Tri/Sulpha, Chloramphenicol, Erythromycine in high rate.
