Journal ArticleDOI
Vibrio anguillarum as a fish pathogen: virulence factors, diagnosis and prevention.
TL;DR: This review summarizes the current state of knowledge pertaining to V. anguillarum, focusing on pathogenesis, known virulence factors, diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does virulence assessment of Vibrio anguillarum using sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) larvae correspond with genotypic and phenotypic characterization
Ingeborg Frans,Kristof Dierckens,Sam Crauwels,Ado Van Assche,Jørgen J. Leisner,Marianne Halberg Larsen,Chris W. Michiels,Kris Willems,Bart Lievens,Peter Bossier,Hans Rediers +10 more
TL;DR: No relation was found between virulence and genotypic or phenotypic characteristics, illustrating the complexity of V. anguillarum virulence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic and physiological diversity of Tetragenococcus halophilus strains isolated from sugar- and salt-rich environments.
Annelies Justé,Bart Lievens,Ingeborg Frans,Terence L. Marsh,M Klingeberg,Christiaan Michiels,Kris Willems +6 more
TL;DR: All strains within the species T. halophilus were grouped, except one isolate from sugar thick juice that showed different physiological and genetic characteristics, and that may represent a new species of Tetragenococcus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Present knowledge of the bacterial microflora in the extreme environment of sugar thick juice.
TL;DR: The diversity of the bacterial population in sugar thick juice, an intermediate product in the production of beet sugar, which exhibits an extreme, osmophilic environment with a water activity value less than 0.86, was assessed with both culture-dependent and -independent 16S ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene-based analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid detection and identification of viral and bacterial fish pathogens using a DNA array-based multiplex assay.
Bart Lievens,Ingeborg Frans,Christophe Heusdens,Annelies Justé,Søren Peter Jonstrup,F. Lieffrig,Kris Willems +6 more
TL;DR: A method based on multiplex and broad-range PCR amplification combined with DNA array hybridization for the simultaneous detection and identification of all cyprinid herpesviruses and some of the most important fish pathogenic Flavobacterium species, including F. branchiophilum, F. columnare and F. psychrophilum is described.
