Marine bacterium that causes infections in fish. Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida PT99-018

Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida. Formerly Pasteurella piscicida, this organism was classified as Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida based on genetic and phenotypic analysis. Photobacterium damselae subsp piscicida was first identified as the causative agent of bacterial infections in fish during a disease outbreak in white perch and striped bass in the Chesapeake Bay. This organism is highly pathogenic for a wide variety of marine fish. Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida infection has significant economic impact on aquaculture particularly in Japan, where it infects yellowtail and in the Mediterranean area where it infects farmed seabream and seabass. Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida PT99-018. This strain will be used for comparative analysis

杀鱼道森氏发光杆菌（Photobacterium damselae subsp. piscicida）曾用名为杀鱼巴斯德杆菌（Pasteurella piscicida）。基于遗传学与表型分析，该菌被重新归类为杀鱼道森氏发光杆菌。杀鱼道森氏发光杆菌最早于切萨皮克湾的白斑鲈与条纹鲈疫病暴发期间，被鉴定为鱼类细菌性感染的病原菌。该菌对多种海水鱼类具有高度致病性，其引发的感染对水产养殖业造成了显著经济损失：在日本，该菌可感染黄尾鰤；在地中海地区，则可感染养殖真鲷与海鲈。本数据集所用菌株为杀鱼道森氏发光杆菌PT99-018，将用于比较分析。
