A Test of the Efficacy of Two Antibiotics (Lincomycin Hydrochloride and Spectinomycin Sulfate) in an Epizootic Of Corynebacterial Kidney Disease Among Yearling Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis)

Leonard N. Allison, John G. Hnath and Keith Pratt

Abstract.-Two antibiotics (Lincomycin Hydrochloride and Spectinomycin Sulfate) were tested from May 20 through July 19, 1969, for efficacy in the control of corynebacterial kidney disease among brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) at the Thompson State Fish Hatchery in Michigan. Lincomycin Hydrochloride alone or in combination with Spectinomycin Sulfate, did not effect a cure nor could any suppression of the disease be demonstrated.
