Genomic Characterization of Flavobacterium psychrophilum Serotypes and Development of a Multiplex PCR-Based Serotyping Scheme
Flavobacterium psychrophilum is a devastating bacterial pathogen of salmonids reared in freshwater worldwide. So far, serological diversity between isolates has been described but the underlying molecular factors remain unknown. By combining complete genome sequence analysis and the serotyping method proposed by Lorenzen and Olesen (1997) for a set of 34 strains, we identified key molecular det...
متن کاملCurrent research on Flavobacterium psychrophilum
Rainbow trout fry syndrome (RTFS) has caused serious losses in the production of rainbow trout in Denmark since the mid 1980s and is still one of the most important bacterial infections in Danish freshwater farms [1]. For the last 15 years, florfenicol has been the drug of choice for control of RTFS, and there is a risk that florfenicol will become less effective in the future. A total of 387 s...
متن کاملFlavobacterium psychrophilum vaccine development: a difficult task
Bacterial cold water disease (BCWD) is a globally distributed freshwater fish disease caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Flavobacterium psychrophilum. It is a particularly devastating infection in fry salmonids and may lead to high levels of mortality. In spite of its economic impact on fish farms, neither the biology of the bacterium nor the bacterium-host interactions are well understood. ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibility of Flavobacterium psychrophilum isolates
16 Routine application of antimicrobials is the current treatment of choice for rainbow trout 17 fry syndrome (RTFS) or bacterial coldwater disease (BCWD) caused by Flavobacterium 18 psychrophilum. In this study, the antimicrobial susceptibilities of 133 F. psychrophilum 19 isolates, 118 of which were from the UK, were evaluated by broth microdilution and disc 20 diffusion methods following VET...
متن کاملFlavobacterium psychrophilum, Renibacterium salmoninarum and Aeromonas salmonicida
Intra-ovum infection of artificialy contaminated salmonid (rainbow trout or amago salmon) eggs was studied using three fish pathogens (Flavobacterium psychrophilum, Renibacterium salmoninarum and Aeromonas salmonicida). Artificial contamination was performed using egg-surface contamination or immersion-water contamination. For F. psychrophilum and R. salmoninarum, infection occurred by the entr...
