AB  - <I>Pseudomonas elongata</I> was isolated from naturally infected scattered mirror carp (<I>Cyprinus carpio</I>) and its pathogenicity was tested by intramuscular injection. The infection caused mortality in scattered mirror carp with gross clinical abnormalities such as dark coloured of a location on body surface, cataract in eyes, haemorrhagic damage of liver, irrigation in kidney, anemia, swollen intestine, fins rot and hyperaemia in operculum and skin. Lethal Dose<SUB>50</SUB> (LD<SUB>50</SUB>) of <I>Pseudomonas elongata</I> was calculated 2.24x10<SUP>5</SUP>. No significant difference was obtained among enumered of pathogenic bacteria isolated from gill, liver, kidney tissues and total pathogenic bacteria. Sensitivities of <I>Pseudomonas elongata</I> against 50 chemotherapeutants were tested. Minimum inhibitory concentrations of enrofloxacin and chloramine T to the isolate were calculated 5 mL L<SUP>-1</SUP> and 10 mg L<SUP>-1</SUP>, respectively. Best treatment method was no mortality performed with orally enrofloxacin application and chloramine T bath.
