Application of suppressive subtractive hybridization to the identification of genetic differences between two Lactococcus garvieae strains showing distinct differences in virulence for rainbow trout and mouse.

Abstract excerpt

Lactococcus garvieae is the causative microbial agent of lactococcosis, an important and damaging fish disease in aquaculture. This bacterium has also been isolated from vegetables, milk, cheese, meat and sausages, from cow and buffalo as a mastitis agent, and even from humans, as an opportunistic infectious agent. In this work pathogenicity experiments were performed in rainbow trout and mouse models with...
