Picture (A) showed a scale image of Asian seabass and a zoomed picture of detachable scales and haemorrhage on skin (B).
V. alginolyticus shows whitish colonies on CHROMagarTM Vibrio (white agar plate), yellow colonies on TCBS agar (yellow agar plate).
The colA virulence gene of Vibrio alginolyticus was detected by using 1.5% of gel electrophoresis with 737bp size. Notes: M: 100 bp DNA ladder.
The resistance phenotype with multiple antibiotic resistance (MAR) index and presence of virulence genes and multiple virulence genes (MVG) index based on the location from East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
