Columnaris Disease: A Bacterial Infection Caused by Flavobacterium columnare
Columnaris disease is the second leading cause of mortality in pond raised catfish in the southeastern United States. It is second only to enteric septicemia of catfish (ESC) caused by the bacterium Edwardsiella ictaluri. Most species of fish are susceptible to columnaris following some type of environmental stress and when water temperatures are in the upper part of their preferred temperature...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Three Flavobacterium psychrophilum Strains Isolated from Coldwater Disease Outbreaks at Three Production Hatcheries.
We report here the genome sequences of three Flavobacterium psychrophilum strains causing a bacterial coldwater disease (BCWD) outbreak, isolated from infected rainbow trout from hatcheries in Montana and South Dakota. The availability of these virulent outbreak-causing strain genome sequences will help further understand the pathogenesis of BCWD.
متن کاملA Review of Flavobacterium Psychrophilum Biology, Clinical Signs, and Bacterial Cold Water Disease Prevention and Treatment
Bacterial coldwater disease and other infections caused by Flavobacterium psychrophilum are a worldwide concern, particularly for freshwater salmonid hatcheries. F. psychrophilum infections can be difficult to control; antibiotic resistance is common and no effective vaccines are currently available. This review summarizes the biology and characteristics of this important pathogen, as well as t...
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 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...
