Comparison of molecular and biochemical heterogeneity of Yersinia ruckeri strains isolated from Turkey and the USA

We believe that this manuscript entitled “Comparison of molecular and biochemical heterogeneity of Yersinia ruckeri strains isolated from Turkey and the USA” is relevant to aquaculture because Y. ruckeri is one of the most common bacterial fish diseases in salmonid culture. In the present study, Y. ruckeri strains were compared by using biochemical test, pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and outer membrane protein (OMP) profiles to see which typing method has the most discriminatory power to distinguish strains in order to study epizootiology of yersiniosis.
