Abstract

The problem of Motile Aeromonas septicaemia — (MAS) among common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) and the toxicological characters of the extracellular products (ECPs) produced by Aeromonas hydrophila (A.hydrophila) organism were studied. Bacteriological examination revealed the isolation of ten A. hydrophila isolates which were identified into three virulent isolates to common carp while the rest of isolates were less virulent.
