Abstract
Characteristics of 18 strains of Yersinia ruckeri the causative agent of enteric redmouth disease, from a variety of hosts and a wide geographic range were compared. Except for variations in colonial morphology and in citrate, sorbitol, and trehalose reactions, the strains were morphologically and biochemically homogeneous. Sixteen strains reacted with antiserum against the first serotype reported, and one strain reacted with antiserum against a more recently reported serotype. One strain represented a third serotype. Evidence presented indicated that extension of the geographic range may not be entirely a result of the transport of carrier fish.
