چکیده
This work reports on the antigenic characterization and virulence for rainbow trout Oncorhynchus rnykiss of Vibrio anguillarurn-related (VAR) strains isolated from diseased turbot Scophthal1nus maximus and cod Gadus niorhua in Spain and Denmark. These vibrio strains belong to Mbrio splendldus biovar 1 (serogroups B , C , D, F and G) and pelagius biovar I (serogroup A). The pathogenicity assays demonstrated that 10 of 15 (67%) VAR strains tested were virulent for rainbow trout, showing a n LDsn 150% lethal dose) ranging from 8.4 X 10' to 7 X 10' CFU (colony forming units) per fish. Moreover, all the V. splendidus biovar 1 strains of serogroup F, which is the predominant type among strains isolated from cod, were virulent for rainbow trout, whlle V. splendidus biovar 1 strains isolated from turbot were avirulent. Analysis of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) and membrane proteins showed that VAR strains belonging to different serogroups possessed distinct electrophoretic banding patterns. The immunoblot analysis demonstrated a high immunorelation among VAR strains of the same scrogroups, while strains from different serogroups were not irnmunologicalfy related. Immunoblot assays also confirmed the dlssirnilarities in LPS structure observed among the distinct subgroups of serogroup F These findings suggest that present vibrlosis vaccines for cod could be improved if V splendidus biovar 1 representative of serogroup F (subgroups a and P) were tested in trial vaccines.

متن کاملIntestinal colonization potential of turbot (Scophthalmus maximus)- and dab (Limanda limanda)-associated bacteria with inhibitory effects against Vibrio anguillarum.
Of more than 400 bacteria isolated from turbot (Scophthalmus maximus), 89 have previously been shown to inhibit the in vitro growth of the fish pathogen Vibrio anguillarum. The aim of the present study was to investigate the potential of seven of these strains, as well as of intestinal isolates (four strains) from a closely related fish, dab (Limanda limanda), for colonizing farmed turbot as a ...

A review of the literature shows that although the number of serotypes of Vibrio anguillarum reported from different countries varies, most of the vibriosis outbreaks throughout the world are caused by only 2 serotypes: 01 and 0 2 (European serotype designation). The remaining serotypes, associated mainly with environmental samples such as water, sediment, phytoand zooplankton, are generally no...

Isolation and characterization of Vibrio ( Listonella) anguillarum from catfish
Vibrio anguillarum was isolated from several organs of some aquarium catfish in a fish population with high mortality. Macroscopic examination of the affected catfish revealed ascites in the abdomen, site-petechiae, and dorsal erection. Although there are some variations in phenotypic characterization among different isolates of Vibrio anguillarum, the majority show a common biochemical profile...
