R. E. Pacha,E. D. Kiehn +1 more
TLDR
On the basis of morphological and cultural characteristics, the Pacific Northwest strains of Vibrio were found to be closely related to V. anguillarum, a known fish pathogen.Citations

Taxonomy of Marine Bacteria: the Genus Beneckea
TL;DR: Nine groups which had deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) containing 45 to 48 moles per cent guanine plus cytosine (GC) were assigned to a redefined genus Beneckea, and all of the strains in this genus, when grown in liquid medium, had a single, polar flagellum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serotyping of Vibrio anguillarum.
TL;DR: A serotyping scheme based on the detection of O antigens by slide agglutination in fish-pathogenic strains of Vibrio anguillarum is presented and 90 strains received from culture collections and laboratories in different countries were typed according to the present system.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the taxonomy and seroepizootiology of Vibrio anguillarum, with special reference to aquaculture in the northwest of Spain
Alicia E. Toranzo,Juan L. Barja +1 more
TL;DR: 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 two serotypes: 01 and 0 2 (European serotype designation) as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vibrio anguillarum serovars associated with vibriosis in fish
TL;DR: In cod serovar O2 was dominant while only a minor proportion belonged to other serogroups or were non-typeable and the relative number of O2b isolates was considerably higher than in other fish species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Specificity of slide agglutination test for detecting bacterial fish pathogens
TL;DR: The slide agglutination test, using anti whole-cell sera and two antigen preparations (whole-cells and “O” antigen) for each strain, is useful for a rapid detection of fish pathogens, with the additional advantage of its applicability for serotyping studies.

The taxonomic significance of fermentative versus oxidative metabolism of carbohydrates by various gram negative bacteria
Rudolph Hugh,Einar Leifson +1 more
TL;DR: In the absence of compounds such as nitrates, the oxidation of carbohydrates is a strictly aerobic process, whereas fermentation is an anaerobic process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Infectious Diseases of Pacific Salmon
TL;DR: Investigations on infectious diseases of Pacific salmon due to micro-organisms other than viruses are reviewed and one myxobacteria, Chondrococcus columnaris, causes disease at relatively high water temperatures, and the problem of the taxonomy of this organism is discussed.

An epizootic of vibriosis in chinook salmon.
J. O. Cisar,John L. Fryer +1 more
TL;DR: Vibrio anguillarum was identified as the causal organism of an epizootic of vibriosis in juvenile chinook salmon reared in a salt-water impoundment on the Oregon coast.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Disease of Finnock Due to Vibrio anguillarum
TL;DR: The causal organism was found to be a Gram-negative, motile, curved rod which was also pathogenic to eels, perch, plaice and saithe, and on comparison with other pathogenic vibrios from fish it was apparent that the organism was a variant of Vibrio anguillarum.
