red tilapia Oreochromis sp. in Indonesia, white spotted snapper
Lutjanus stellatus and pompano T. blochii in Malaysia, Nile
tilapia O. niloticus in Brazil, and rainbow trout Oncorhynchus
mykiss in Iran [5–12]. Outside of the aquatic arena, S. dysgalactiae
is considered as a main causative agent of bovine mastitis
[13,14], ovine suppurative polyarthritis [15], bacteremia
and ascending upper limb cellulitis in humans engaged in
cleaning fish [16–18]. Eventually, the growing numbers of reports
involving the clinical/pathological implementations of
S. dysgalactiae are highly suggestive of a critically expanding
importance of such pathogen.
