Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride for Aeromonas bacteria

[RyanH]

Does anyone have any suggestions for treating Aeromonas bacteria? I've been told that Bifuran (also Furan 2) and Oxytetracycline are both affective but I'd like some other opinions.

I've been leaning toward using Oxytetracycline Hydrochloride but I've been having problems nailing down a safe but affective dosage. I'm also concerned with potential resistence to this drug or if it is even affective anymore.

thanks in advance for any feedback!

Hi Ryan, I'm not sure about Aeromonas bacteria, but I have successfully used Oxytetracycline and EM mixed on stubborn internal and external bacterial infections. It works well.
