Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: This study aimed to assess the genetic diversity of fish isolates of Streptococcus agalactiae by capsular serotyping, MLST and the pattern of selected virulence genes. Forty-six isolates from Nile tilapia and Amazon catfish were screened by PCR for the twelve virulence genes. The molecular capsular type and sequence type (ST) were determined. Two capsular types (Ia and Ib) and four STs (103, 260, 552...
