The pathogen was readily isolated from kidney and mucus of convalescent fish. The organisms were relatively inert in most standard microbiological media but were structurally and serologically homogenous by examination of whole cell protein lysates by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. In contrast to the homogeneity observed in phenotypic and serologic assays, the isolates studied elaborated varied ribotypes. All isolates produced a single rDNA spacer amplification product of about 240 base pairs.</p></div></div>
