It is known that gastrointestinal microflora of terrestrial and aquatic animals contains bacteria which have important role in digestion. Changes in microflora have influence on normal functioning of gastrointestinal tract, and can lead to disease. In this paper, bacterial microflora of gastrointestinal tract of tilapia and common carp breed in aquaculture was examined. Bacterial strains were isolated from intestine of tilapia and common carp. Based on morphology of the colonies, Gram staining and biochemical properties, we have isolated E. coli, Enterobacter, Seratia sp., Citrobacter, Proteus, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas sp., Streptococcus and Aeromonas hydrophila.
