Abstract

The study was able to isolate five colonies of presumed Enterococcus spp. from moribund Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) using selective medium. Of the 5 bacterial isolates, three were identified as E. faecalis and the remaining were Enterococcus spp. using the Remel RapIDTM STR System. The commensal Enterococcus spp. can also cause diseases on Nile tilapia.

Keywords: Enterococcus Faecalis; Aggregation substance; Nile Tilapia
