antimicrobial susceptibility of edwardsiella tarda from the united states and taiwan.	edwardsiella tarda isolates from the united states and taiwan were screened against 37 antimicrobial agents. these isolates were highly susceptible to the amino-glycosides, second and third generation cephalosporins, newer penicillins, nitrofurantoin, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, and the quinolones. source-related resistance was found for penicillin g, sulfadiazine, colistin, novobiocin, spectinomycin, ampicillin, tetracycline, and chloramphenicol. generally, the taiwan isolates were more resi ...	1986	3776095
polymicrobial bacteremia caused by escherichia coli, edwardsiella tarda, and shewanella putrefaciens.	edwardsiella tarda, a member of enterobacteriaceae, is found in freshwater and marine environments and in animals living in these environments. this bacterium is primarily associated with gastrointestinal diseases, and has been isolated from stool specimens obtained from persons with or without clinical infectious diseases. shewanella putrefaciens, a saprophytic gram-negative rod, is rarely responsible for clinical syndromes in humans. debilitated status and exposure to aquatic environments are ...	2004	15605912
extraintestinal manifestations of edwardsiella tarda infection.	summary edwardsiella tarda, a member of the family enterobacteriaceae, is a rare human pathogen. gastroenteritis is the most frequently reported manifestation of e. tarda infection. in contrast, extraintestinal infection with e. tarda has rarely been reported. this study made a retrospective case and microbiological data review of patients with extraintestinal e. tarda infections to further understand this disease. this study retrospectively reviewed the charts of all isolates of e. tarda cultur ...	2005	16033613
development of a multiplex polymerase chain reaction to detect five common gram-negative bacteria of aquatic animals.	a multiplex polymerase chain reaction (m-pcr) technique was developed as a rapid and accurate diagnostic tool for identifying five major gram-negative bacilli -vibrio vulnificus, v. parahaemolyticus, aeromonas hydrophila, chryseobacterium meningosepticum and edwardsiella tarda- that cause major diseases in cultured aquatic animals in taiwan. the expected amplicons for v. vulnificus, v. parahaemolyticus, a. hydrophila, c. meningosepticum and e. tarda were 410, 368, 685, 180 and 230bp, respectivel ...	2012	22571515
antimicrobial susceptibility and genetic characterisation of oxytetracycline-resistant edwardsiella tarda isolated from diseased eels.	edwardsiellosis is one of the most important bacterial diseases in eels. edwardsiella tarda (e. tarda) isolates (n=94) from diseased eels were screened against the eight most commonly used antimicrobial agents in aquaculture in taiwan. these isolates were highly susceptible to ampicillin, amoxicillin, florfenicol, oxolinic acid and flumequine. in total, 20 of the 94 (21.3 per cent) isolates tested were resistant to oxytetracycline (otc). among the 20 tetracycline-resistant e. tarda isolates, tet ...	2014	24958553
