For the identification of A.hydrophilla, the pure colonies were analysed using Gram’s staining technique and five biochemical tests namely; Catalase, Oxidase, Methyl Red, Voges Proskauer and Triple Sugar Iron Test. For antimicrobial susceptibility test, the disc diffusion method was conducted by using four types of antibiotic discs, vancomycin, cephazolin, meropenem and colistin sulphate. The prevalence of A. hydrophila infection in this study were 18% (n=5). For disc diffusion method, resistance index for all isolates were ranged from 0.25 to 0.50. Therefore, proper management in fish farming area and routine monitoring of drug susceptibility patterns overtime is neces-sary. 7 4 42-45

summary The commercial catfish covers about 37% of value of production in aquaculture sectors in Malaysia. Aeromonas hydrophila is the most common bacterial infection that occurred in catfish culture, mainly due to poor environment and water quality.
