Abstract
Isolates of Aeromonas salmonicida were obtained from farmed Atlantic s almon, Salmo salar L., with amoxicillin minimum inhibitory concentrati ons (MICs) of 2.5-10 mug ml-1. Several antibiotic sensitivity patterns were found among the isolates including resistance to the four UK-lic ensed antibacterial drugs. Combination of clavulanic acid with amoxici llin was not effective, but all isolates were sensitive to florfenicol and to a cephalosporin, the latter having very low MICs.
