Abstract
Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) agar was examined to assess its applicability as a differential medium for Aeromonas salmonicida. The characteristics of 6 species of bacteria, including fish pathogens, on the CBB medium, in mixed culture, and upon isolation from asymptomatic carrier fish, were determined. Results indicate that this medium can be used to differentiate A. salmonicida in mixed bacterial populations from clinical samples.
