Abstract

Certain penicillins are useful in the treatment or prophylaxis of bacterial infections in fish.

Description

Use of te oci l l in or carbenici l l in for the treatment or prophylaxis of bacterial i nfections in fish .
This invention relates to the treatment of fish pathogens using antibacterial agents .

Λ A paper entitled "Treatment of Fish Disease" by N.C. Stuart in Veterinary Record (1983) 112, pages 173-177 indicates that various antibiotics including penicillin G and ampicillin have been used in the treatment of fish. ιo Subsequently, T. Kitao has disclosed in Gyobokenkyu (Fish Pathology) Vol. 24, No. 2 pp. 83-87 (1989) that amoxicillin shows in vitro activity against various fish pathogens.
We have now discovered that certain other penicillin 15 derivatives are effective in the treatment of fish pathogens.
In one aspect the present invention provides a method of treatment of bacterial pathogens in fish which comprises 20 administering to the fish an effective amount of ticarcillin, temocillin or carbenicillin, or a veterinarily acceptable derivative thereof.
In a second aspect the present invention provides the use of 25 ticarcillin, temocillin or carbenicillin, or a veterinary acceptable derivative thereof, in the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of bacterial pathogens in fish.
The treatment may be carried out prophylatically or to fish 30 infested with pathogens. ^
The compounds have been found to be especially effective in the treatment of fin-fish such as salmonids, and against bacterial pathogens associated with furunculosis. They are 35 also effective against bacterial strains associated with vibriosis .
The compounds may be administered orally, for example as a paste, tablet or capsule, but typically as a food additive, for example granules, pellets or powder, which are blended with the feed.
The compounds may also be administered topically, for example in sprays or baths, typically by dipping or holding the fish in a solution or suspension of the compound, or by addition o_f the compound to a stock pool or holding tank. Additionally, the compound may be administered by injection or intubation.
The compounds may be formulated with veterinarily acceptable carriers appropriate to the mode of administration. Such formulations may include conventional additives and other pharmacologically active agents such as anthelmintics and acaricides.
Suitably the compounds are administered in quantities sufficient to provide a dose of from 0.001 to 100 mg of active ingredient per kg of fish weight, more suitably 0.1 to 50 mg/kg.
A formulation incorporating the compounds may suitably contain from 0.1% by weight, preferably from 1 to 60% by weight of the compound, depending on the mode of administration.
It will be appreciated that it may be advisable to repeat the dose in accordance with conventional prophylatic or treatment regimes.
The effectiveness of the compounds in this invention are illustrated by the following test results showing minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) against variants of Aeromonas salmonicida and Yersinia ruckeri. The results were obtained using an agar plate doubling dilation method based on that of the U.S. National Committee for Laboratory Standards. Oxoid sensitivity broth was used to prepare the inocula and oxoid sensi-test agar was used as the test medium. Incubation was for 20 hours at 22°C.
