Abstract:
A bacterial epizootic in trout (Salmo gairneri, Richardson) characterized by haemorrhagic diathesis is described in its acute and subacute form. The disease could be reproduced with the isolated new bacterial species. Two basic features characterize this bacterium: I. growth at 41 degrees C (water bath) on cultivation in solid and liquid media and 2. antigenic relationship to the classical brucellae. Immunoelectrophoretic analysis revealed a common antigenic determinant in the LPS of the isolated fish-pathogenic bacterium and that of classical brucellae (S form).
