IDENTIFIKASI BAKTERI YANG MENGINFEKSI IKAN GARRA RUFA (Cyprinion macrostamus) DI BALAI BESAR KARANTINA IKAN SOEKARNO-HATTA
ABSTRACT: A study has been
carried out to identify the bacteria that infected the garra rufa fish
(Cyprinion macrostamus) which have been transported through the Quarantine Office
of Soekarno - Hatta Airport. These fishes were among the freshwater commodities
which frequently transported throughout various countries, because they were
commonly used for decreasing the effect of psoriasis in a feet spa treatment,
by feeding the dead cells of feet skin. Therefore, the possibility of spreading
the diseases during the treatment must be anticipated. In this study the
bacteria samples were taken from the fish skin and then cultured in the
laboratory. After purification of the cultures, the bacteria were then tested
by a serial microbiological methods to identify the bacteria. The results showed
that the Garra rufa fish (Cyprinion macrostomus) observed in this study indicated
the presence of bacteria of (+) Motile Aeromonas Septicaemia, and (-) of Motile
Aeromonas Septicaemia, which were among the diseases of quarantine fishes. While
the Aeromonas hydrophylla was also found out, even though not included as diseases
of quarantine fishes. Therefore, they may received the health certificate for
fish and fish product for export as well as for therapeutic purposes .
