Abstract: The skin fester disease of soft-shelled turtle Trionyx sinensis in Zhejiang Province was investigated in this paper. Two bacterial strains (040908-1, 040908-2) isolated from diseased turtles were proved to be the pathogens by artificial infection experiments, and identified to be Proteus vulgaris and Aeromonas veronii biovar sobria by the morphological and cultural features, physiological and biochemical characteristics, which agreed with the results detected by automatic bacteria identification system VITEK-32. The sensitivity of the bacterial isolates to 27 chemotherapeutants was evaluated. It showed that 6 chemotherapeutants (Tobradistin, Neomycin, Ofloxacin, Cefoperazone, Gentamycin and Kanamycin) could inhibit both isolates, while Norfloxacin, Pipemidic acid, Streptomycin and Tetracycline could only inhibit strain 040908-1, and Sulfarmehoxazole/TMP could only inhibit strain 040908-2.

Key words: Trionyx sinensis, skin fester disease, Proteus vulgaris, Aeromonas veronii biovar sobria
