Abstract excerpt
The genus Flavobacterium comprises a diversity of species, including fish pathogens. Multiple techniques have been used to identify isolates of this genus, such as phenotyping, polymerase chain reaction genotyping, and in silico whole-genome taxonomy. In this study, we demonstrate that whole-genome-based taxonomy, using average nucleotide identity and molecular phylogeny, is the most accurate approach for...
