Twenty clinical S. dysgalactiae isolates were used in the current
study. All S. dysgalactiae isolates were isolated from lesions in
the caudal peduncle or the kidney of moribund fishes.
Geographic origin and fish species from which S. dysgalactiae
isolates were retrieved are shown in Table 1. The reference
strain S. dysgalactiae subsp. dysgalactiae ATCC43078 was included
for comparative purpose.
