A total of 200 moribund rainbow trout with clinical signs of a hyperacute haemorrhagic septicemia were collected from rainbow trout farms in Fars, Kohkiloyeh-Boyer Ahmad and Charmohal-Bakhtiari provinces in the south and southwest of Iran during summer 2002 to winter 2008 for detection of Lactococcus garvieae, the causative agent of lactococcosis. Fish kidney samples were cultured aseptically o...

Lactococci are Gram-positive cocci that occur in short chains or pairs and traditionally considered to be of low virulence human. Most species not associated with human disease. There few reports regarding Lactococcus isolation humans the clinical significance this rarely-encountered genus is unknown. Here, we report a case infectious spondylitis due garvieae confirmed by matrix-assisted laser ...

Lactic-acid bacteria isolated throughout the ripening process from traditional RTE soft cheeses and dry-cured fermented sausages were characterized selected for their anti-L. monocytogenes activity. For this, LAB isolates first screened activity against this pathogen in agar spot assay further evaluated cheese sausage models simulating conditions of these products. From a total 371 isolates, 84...

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a heterogeneous group of bacteria found widely in nature . They colonize the gastrointestinal and urogenital tracts of humans and animals, and are present in foods such as dairy products, fermented meats, fruits and vegetables. LAB are also intentionally added to several probiotic products because of their potential health benefits. Many LAB species are generally ...

BACKGROUND The present investigation was an endeavor into the elucidation of the disease-causing pathogen of streptococcosis in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Egypt affecting adult fish cultured and wild fish in the Nile river. Fish were obtained from commercial fishermen, collected as part of their routine fishing activities. The researchers observed the routine fishing process and se...
