Abstract
Safe and effective live vaccines against enteric septicemia of catfish (ESC) were created through the induction of rifampicin resistance in native E. ictaluri isolates; these including rifampicin-resistant strain (RE-33) of Edwardsiella ictaluri originally isolated from the walking catfish Clarius batrachus from Thailand. Single immersion exposure of catfish fry stimulated strong acquired immunity against many isolates of E. ictaluri without the need for booster immunization.
