RT Journal Article T1 First isolation and characterization of Chryseobacterium shigense from rainbow trout A1 Zamora Morales, Leydis A1 Palacios, Ma Angel A1 Domínguez Rodríguez, Lucas José A1 Fernández-Garayzábal Fernández, José Francisco A1 Vela Alonso, Ana Isabel AB BACKGROUNDThere have been an increasing number of infections in fish associated with different species of Chryseobacterium, being considered potentially emerging pathogens. Nevertheless the knowledge of the diversity of species associated with fish disease is partial due to the problems for a correct identification at the species level based exclusively on phenotypic laboratory methods.RESULTSChryseobacterium shigense was isolated from the liver, kidney and gills of diseased rainbow trout in different disease episodes that occurred in a fish farm between May 2008 and June 2009. Identity of the isolates was confirmed by 16 S rRNA gene sequencing and phenotypic characterization. Isolates represented a single strain as determined by random amplified polymorphic DNA analysis.CONCLUSIONSThis is the first description of the recovery of C. shigense from clinical specimens in trout, a very different habitat to fresh lactic acid beverage where it was initially isolated.
