In this study, we isolated and characterized an Enterococcus faecalis isolate from a diseased cultured Tilapia. Initial isolation of putative E. faecalis was carried out on streptococcus enrichment broth for 36 h. Characteristic, gram-positive, black color colony was selectively sub-cultured and subsequently identified by 16 rRNA sequencing analysis as Enterococcus faecalis (Genbank Acc no. KT877352). |
