Abstract
Tobramycin was found to be less inhibitory to Flavobacterium columnare (formerly Flexibacter columnaris) than to other fish-associated bacteria. The selective capacity of Shieh medium, an isolation medium described for this species, was markedly enhanced by adding tobramycin at a concentration of 1 microgram/ml.
