Lactococcus garvieae: an emerging bacterial pathogen of fish

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2017
Lactococcus garvieae is the causative agent of lactococcosis, a hyperacute, haemorrhagic septicaemia of fish. This bacterium is also considered an emerging zoonotic pathogen, as reports of human infection are increasing. Significant economic loss in aquaculture is suffered as a result of lactococcosis, as numerous freshwater and marine species of ...

Lactococcus garvieae in fish: A review

Comparative Immunology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, 2006
Lactococcus garvieae is the etiological agent of Lactococcosis, an emergent disease which affects many fish species and causes important economic losses both in marine and freshwater aquaculture when water temperature increases over 16 degrees C in summer months. Normally, it causes a hyperacute and haemorrhagic septicemia.

Insertion sequence elements in Lactococcus garvieae

Gene, 2015
Insertion sequences are the simplest intracellular Mobile Genetic Elements which can occur in very high numbers in prokaryotic genomes, where they play an important evolutionary role by promoting genome plasticity. As such, the studies on the diversity and distribution of insertion sequences in genomes not yet investigated can contribute to improve the

Detection of putative virulence genes of Lactococcus garvieae

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2016
Lactococcus garvieae is the causative agent of lactococcosis and has been isolated from a wide variety of animals. In the present study, 34 strains of L. garvieae isolated from fish from different sources and locations were tested for the presence or absence of the following putative virulence genes: a capsule gene cluster (CGC), hemolysins 1, 2, and 3

Lactococcus garvieae Native Valve Endocarditis

Clinical Microbiology Newsletter, 2014
Lactococcus garvieae is regarded as a veterinary pathogen, causing hemorrhagic septicemia in fish (1) and mastitis in cows (2). The organism has also been recovered from a variety of dairy products, such as unpasteurized milk (3) and cheese (4-6), as well as various meat products (5,6). L.

[Lactococcus garvieae endocarditis].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2015
Lactococcus garvieae, a Gram-positive lactococcus with a short incubation period and high virulence, is a known fish pathogen responsible for serious outbreaks in both marine and freshwater aquaculture. The first human infection was documented in 1991. This is the first case report of L.

Native-valve bacterial endocarditis caused by Lactococcus garvieae

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 2006
We report a case of definite Lactococcus garvieae native-valve endocarditis. The diagnosis was suspected in a patient presenting with congestive heart failure and found to have Enterococcus hirae bacteremia, with a history of L. garvieae bacteremia 1 month prior.

Lactococcus garvieae septicaemia in a patient with artificial heart valves

Wiener klinische Wochenschrift, 2011
Lactococcus garvieae is usually an animal pathogen. Only a few cases of infections in humans have been described. We describe a case of an elderly patient with prosthetic heart valves with a septicaemia without infective endocarditis, and with a favourable clinical course.

Lactococcus garvieae endocarditis: report of a case and review of the literature

Diagnostic Microbiology and Infectious Disease, 1998
Bacterial endocarditis due to Lactococcus garvieae is extremely unusual, and may actually be underreported due to its morphologic and biochemical similarities with enterococci. Only three cases have been reported in the medical literature, and all involved prosthetic valves. We report a case of native valve bacterial endocarditis caused by L. garvieae.
