Many drug‐resistant gram‐negative bacilli were isolated from the intestinal tracts of yellowtails ( Seriola quinqueradiata ) cultured on farms in various parts of Kochi and Ehime Prefectures, Shikoku Island. They were Vibrio, Pseudomonas, Proteus, Citrobacter and some unidentified Enterobacteriaceae . Of these drug‐resistant strains, Vibrio and Pseudomonas were found to carry R factors in high frequencies. These R factors had four types of resistance markers, SA, SA. CM, SM. CM. ABP. and SA. SM. CM. TC. All R factors were found to belong to the fi – type. In contrast, only one drug‐resistant gram‐negative bacillus was detected in a cultured yellowtail on farms near Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture.
