Edwardsiella ictaluri is a gram negative bacterium that is the causative agent of enteric septicemia of catfish. In 2011, this bacterium was identified as the causative agent of massive death in zebrafish populations in U.S. In this project, we found that isolates of E. ictaluri from zebrafish comprise a unique strain that differs from the type strain of E. ictaluri phenotypically as well as genetically. Also, strains of E. ictaluri from zebrafish are non-infectious in channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus by immersion. Here we sequenced the zebrafish strains of E. ictaluri LADL11-100 and LADL11-194 and compared the potential virulence genes in these strains with their homologous genes from the catfish strain LADL93-146. One of the major diff...
