Ecoepidemiology of Laribacter hongkongensis , a Novel Bacterium Associated with Gastroenteritis

Abstract excerpt

In a territory-wide surveillance study, Laribacter hongkongensis was isolated solely from freshwater fish (60% of grass carps, 53% of bighead carps, and 25% of mud carps). Comparing the pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns of fish and patient isolates revealed that most patient isolates were clustered together, suggesting that some clones could be more virulent.
