Abstract: The present study was conducted to clarify species and drug resistance of pathogen from the diseased Misgurnus anguillicaudatus in a farm. Pathogenic bacteria from the liver of the diseased M. anguillicaudatus were examined using conventional methods and isolated. The pathogenic bacteria named strain NQ150728 were isolated and identified as Aeromonas veronii by means of VITEK-2 identification system and 16S rRNA and gyrB gene sequence analysis. The results of artificial infection test showed that the isolate could induce symptom of natural disease and caused death in 5 days. In addition, strain NQ150728 was highly sensitive to 24 kinds of drug such as ceftriaxone, riftriaxone, enrofloxacin and tetracycline.

Key words: Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, pathogenicity, Aeromonas veronii, drug sensitivity test
