Outline of Final Research Achievements

We propose that the non-agglutinating strains belong to a new serotype II of L. garvieae as the pathogen of Seriola spp., which did not agglutinate with an antiserum against serotype I. The DNA-DNA hybridization between the both strains were higher than 70%. The 16S rRNA gene of the serotype II revealed high similarity with serotype I. The serotype II strains showed the same bacteriological characteristics as serotype I strains. The biased sinusoidal field gel electrophoretic patters of serotype II strains were similar. The result of cross-protection tests suggested the serotype I FKC might confer the insufficient protection to the fish against the serotype II, however, the immunization with the serotype II FKC was quite ineffective for the serotype I infection. To distinguish the two serotypes, a primer set was developed to target the glxR-argS intergenic region. As a result of PCR, different-sized fragments were amplified from the serotype II and serotype I strains.
