Strain variation and geographic endemism in Streptococcus iniae [PDF]
Twenty-six Israeli isolates of Streptococcus iniae from both marine and fresh/brackish water sources were compared with each other and with 9 foreign isolates. All the isolates were tentatively identified according to their biochemical profile. Direct sequencing of approximately 600 bp PCR products of the 16S rDNA confirmed their identification as S ...

A solute-binding protein for iron transport in Streptococcus iniae [PDF]
Abstract Background Streptococcus iniae (S. iniae) is a major pathogen that causes considerable morbidity and mortality in cultured fish worldwide. The pathogen's ability to adapt to the host affects the extent of infection, hence understanding the mechanisms by which S.

Evolution of the Capsular Operon of Streptococcus iniae in Response to Vaccination [PDF]
ABSTRACT Streptococcus iniae causes severe septicemia and meningitis in farmed fish and is also occasionally zoonotic. Vaccination against S. iniae is problematic, with frequent breakdown of protection in vaccinated fish. The major protective antigens in S. iniae are the

Invasive Streptococcus iniae Infections Outside North America [PDF]
ABSTRACT Streptococcus iniae , a fish pathogen causing infections in aquaculture farms worldwide, has only been reported to cause human infections in North America. In this article, we report the first two cases of invasive S.

Streptococcus iniae sp. nov., a Beta-Hemolytic Streptococcus Isolated from an Amazon Freshwater Dolphin, Inia geoffrensis [PDF]
Evidence is presented for the recognition of a new species of Streptococcus isolated from abscess foci in an Amazon freshwater dolphin, Inia geoffrensis. The organism appears to be immunologically distinct from members of the recognized Lancefield groups of streptococci.
