activity, respectively. Two yeasts, Cryptococcus neoformans and Issatchenkia orientalis were<br />
found to be 100% susceptible to all the plant extracts with the MIC values ranging from 0.08 to<br />
2.50 mg/mL. The lowest minimum inhibitory c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong> (MIC) and minimum fungicidal<br />
c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong> was exhibited by the hexane extracts of S. edule and S. muricatum against C.<br />
neoformans, both with values of 0.08 mg/mL. In the antibacterial screening assays, 49% of the<br />
bioassays exhibited bacteriostatic activity while <strong>on</strong>ly 21% of them showed bactericidal activity. The<br />
lowest MIC and minimum bactericidal c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong> was recorded for the hexane extract of S.<br />
muricatum against Bacillus cereus and Klebsiella pneum<strong>on</strong>iae, both with values of 0.31 mg/mL.<br />
The susceptibility of bacteria towards the plant extracts evaluated was species-dependent, with<br />
the susceptibility indices ranging from 0% for Escherichia coli to 72% for Pseudom<strong>on</strong>as<br />
aeruginosa. The results from this study show that extracts from these plants have significant<br />
antimicrobial activity, which corroborates their use in traditi<strong>on</strong>al medicine.<br />

<str<strong>on</strong>g>Abstract</str<strong>on</strong>g>: Effectiveness of Citrus aurantifolia to c<strong>on</strong>trol Streptococcus agalactiae infecti<strong>on</strong> in Nile<br />
tilapia was investigated, including its impacts <strong>on</strong> tilapia growth rate and histopathological changes.<br />
C<strong>on</strong>cerning tilapia growth rate, the fish with 50±0.12 g BW were fed with pellet feeds c<strong>on</strong>taining<br />
2.5, 5.0 and 10.0% of C. aurantifolia juice for 2 mo. The results showed that specific growth rate of<br />
fish fed with the 3 c<strong>on</strong>centrati<strong>on</strong>s of C. aurantifolia juice were significantly higher than those of the<br />
c<strong>on</strong>trol group (p0.0) 5. On investigati<strong>on</strong> of diseases c<strong>on</strong>trol, S. agalactiae KKU 02057 were<br />
intraperit<strong>on</strong>eally injected into the fish at a dosage of 0.1ml/100g fish and observed mortality for 14<br />

group (p
