Piscirickettsia salmonis is a facultative intracellular bacterium that causes the disease called "salmon rickettsial syndrome". Attempts to control this disease have been unsuccessful, because existing vaccines have not achieved the expected effectiveness and the antibiotics used fail to completely

INTRODUCTION: Piscirickettsia salmonis (P. salmonis) is the aetiological bacterium of the contagious disease piscirickettsiosis or salmonid rickettsial septicaemia (SRS) and causes significant economic losses to aquaculture production in Chile. Current strategies to control infection are i) indiscri

The bacterial diversity in ballast water from five general cargo ships calling at the Port of Houston was determined with ion semiconductor DNA sequencing (Ion Torrent PGM) of PCR amplified 16S rRNA genes. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the composition of bacteria in ballast water did not resem

ピシリケッチア症の診断法として16S rDNAを標的とするPCRによる原因菌の検出が報告されているが、そのプライマー領域の塩基配列に変異を生じている菌株が存在する。そこで、新たに特異的なプライマーを設計した結果、特異性と検出感度が向上した。さらに、本PCRにより人為感染魚の肝臓と腎臓からP. salmonisが検出された。従って、本PCRはピシリケッチア症の診断に利用できると考えられた。
