| rare serotype occurrence and pfge genotypic diversity of streptococcus agalactiae isolated from tilapia in china. | previously, we reported 10 pege types of 85 tilapia streptococcus agalactiae (gbs), which shifted from streptococcus iniae in china, by using pege method. presently, larger and more representative tilapia gbs were isolated, for the first time in china, to characterize their serotypes and genetic diversities more precisely than had done before. 168 gbs strains were distributed in five provinces of china, in which guangdong, guangxi and hainan were the major ones, holding 36.9% (62/168), 37.5% (63 ... | 2013 | 24064381 |
| pcr detection and pfge genotype analyses of streptococcal clinical isolates from tilapia in china. | large-scale streptococcal outbreaks occurred continuously in tilapia farms of china from 2009 to 2011. the objective of this study was to characterize the prevalent strains of tilapia streptococci from the main cultured areas of china through species specific pcr and pulse field gel electrophoresis (pfge). a total of 105 prevalent strains were isolated from guangdong, guangxi, hainan and fujian provinces between 2006 and 2011, 85 of which were identified as streptococcus agalactiae while the res ... | 2012 | 22677479 |
