Chararacteristics of Vagococcus salmoninarum isolated from diseased salmonid fish
Isolates of the salmonid pathogen Vagococcus salmoninarum were recovered from Atlantic salmon, rainbow trout and brown trout with peritonitis. The phenotypes of these isolates and the type strain of Vag. salmoninarum NCFB 2777 were determined by morphological, biochemical and physiological tests and...
