In recent years, outbreaks of bacterial diseases, particularly those caused by\n Aeromonas hydrophila<\/jats:italic>\n , have posed serious challenges to its production. The frequent and often indiscriminate use of antibiotics for disease management has intensified the problem of antimicrobial resistance, emphasising the urgent need for safe, effective and sustainable alternatives.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objectives<\/jats:title>\n \n This study assessed the antibacterial potential of garlic (\n Allium sativum<\/jats:italic>\n ) extracts against\n A. hydrophila<\/jats:italic>\n isolated from infected Pangasius catfish.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n \n A total of 49 bacterial isolates were collected from different commercial Pangas fish farms located in Trishal, Muktagacha and Phulpur upazilas of Bangladesh. All isolates were molecularly confirmed as\n A. hydrophila<\/jats:italic>\n . The antibacterial activity of aqueous and methanolic garlic extracts was subsequently evaluated using disc diffusion, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) assays.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n The aqueous extract exhibited no detectable antibacterial activity, whereas the methanolic extract demonstrated marked inhibitory effects against\n A. hydrophila<\/jats:italic>\n . The largest inhibition zone (15.11\u00a0\u00b1\u00a00.05\u00a0mm) was observed at 8\u00a0mg\/mL of garlic extract in 20% methanol. MIC values ranged between 6 and 8\u00a0mg\/mL, while MBC assays confirmed bactericidal activity at 8\u00a0mg\/mL in 20% methanol. These findings indicate that the methanolic extract exhibited significant antibacterial properties and could be recommended as a phytobiotic alternative to antibiotics for managing\n A. hydrophila<\/jats:italic>\n infections in Pangasius aquaculture.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n \n Methanolic extracts of garlic exhibit significant antibacterial activity against\n A. hydrophila<\/jats:italic>\n and could be recommended as a phytobiotic alternative to conventional antibiotics for managing\n A. hydrophila<\/jats:italic>\n infections in Pangasius aquaculture. This natural approach may contribute to sustainable fish health management and mitigate the development of antimicrobial resistance.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/vms3.70724","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,3]],"date-time":"2025-12-03T03:00:22Z","timestamp":1764730822000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Antimicrobial Efficacy of Garlic (\n Allium sativum<\/i>\n ) Extract Against\n Aeromonas Hydrophila<\/i>\n Isolated From Diseased Pangasius Catfish"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-6800-9663","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sumaia","family":"Siddique","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Fisheries Technology Bangladesh Agricultural University Mymensingh Bangladesh"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7275-2429","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Md.
