Four types of bacteria, two fluorescent pseudomonads, one aeromonad ( Aeromonas hydrophila anaerogens ) and one coccus ( Micrococcus variant ) were isolated from skin lesions of airbreathing fishes. The bacterial culture in mixed condition induced severe ulcers in healthy Anabas testudineus . Pure cultures of each of two pseudomonads and an aeromonad separated from the mixture induced superficial ulcer formation.
