Population structure of the fish-pathogenic bacterium Flavobacterium psychrophilum.
Flavobacterium psychrophilum is currently one of the main bacterial pathogens hampering the productivity of salmonid farming worldwide, and its control mainly relies on antibiotic treatments. To better understand the population structure of this bacterium and its mode of evolution, we have examined the nucleotide polymorphisms at 11 protein-coding loci of the core genome in a set of 50 isolates...
متن کاملGenomic Diversity and Evolution of the Fish Pathogen Flavobacterium psychrophilum
Flavobacterium psychrophilum, the etiological agent of rainbow trout fry syndrome and bacterial cold-water disease in salmonid fish, is currently one of the main bacterial pathogens hampering the productivity of salmonid farming worldwide. In this study, the genomic diversity of the F. psychrophilum species is analyzed using a set of 41 genomes, including 30 newly sequenced isolates. These were...
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...
متن کاملStress Tolerance-Related Genetic Traits of Fish Pathogen Flavobacterium psychrophilum in a Mature Biofilm
Flavobacterium psychrophilum is the causative agent of bacterial cold-water disease and rainbow trout fry syndrome, and hence this bacterium is placed among the most important salmonid pathogens in the freshwater aquaculture industry. Since bacteria in biofilms differ substantially from free-living counterparts, this study sought to find the main differences in gene expression between sessile a...
