Yersinia (Y.) ruckeri has been recognized as a serious bacterial pathogen to several kinds of fish, including rainbow trout. However, there are no reports about the characteristics and pathogenicity of Y. ruckeri isolated from farm-cultured eels. In this study, we isolated and characterized Y. ruckeri from the farm-cultured eel Anguilla japonica in Korea. We investigated the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of Y. ruckeri and tested the virulence of Y. ruckeri isolates on experimentally infected eels. Examination of the flagellar morphology of Y. ruckeri by electron microscopy showed peritrichous flagella in its cell body. Biochemical reaction studies showed overall identical profiles between the isolates and the reference strain of Y. ruckeri in API 20E and API ZYM tests. We sequenced the 16S rRNA of the Y. ruckeri (1,505 bp) for the genotypic characterization (National Center for Biotechnology Information accession number EU401667). Comparison of the 16S rRNA sequences with previously reported Y. ruckeri strains revealed similar phylogenetic relationships. In the virulence assay of the Y. ruckeri on eels, the eels exhibited listlessness, but Y. ruckeri was reisolated from those of the gills and kidneys.

바이칼호에 서식하는 2종의 스폰지 체내 및 주변 물로부터 92개의 저온성 균주를 분리하고 각 균주들의 기질 분해능을 조사하였다. 그 결과 섬유소와 지방에 대한 분해 활성도를 갖는 균주는 38.0, 34.8%로 비교적 적었으나 전분과 단백질 분해 활성도를 갖는 균주는 78.3, 57.6%로 높은 비율로 나타났다. 분리한 세균을 염기서열의 유사도에 따라 분류하기 위하여 Genomic Fingerprinting을 실시한 후 31개 균주를 선별하여 동정한 결과, Baikalospongia sp.에서 분리한 13균주는 모두 Pseudomonas속으로 확인된 반면, Lubomirskia sp.에서 분리한 14균주는 Pseudomonas ssp., Buttiauxella agrestis, Pseudomonas fluorescens, Yersinia ruckeri, Bacillus ssp., Paenibacillus ssp., Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus simplex, Brevibacterium ssp., Acinetobacter lwoffii로 다양하게 동정되었다. 그러나 총 31개 균주 중 18개가 Pseudomonas속으로 동정된 것은 타감작용에 의한 다른 세균 성장의 방해 때문으로 평가되며, 이러한 일반적인 배양 방법의 한계점을 극복하기 위해서는 스폰지의 서식처와 세균의 검출 방법에 대하여 보다 다양한 심층적인 연구가 이루어져야 할 것으로 생각된다.

Background: Live fish import may lead to the unintended introduction of pathogens. We examined the monthly distribution of microbial pathogens in ornamental finfish imported into South Korea over a 6-month period. Results: Vibrio alginolyticus was detected in one lemon damsel in June and July; V. vulnificus was detected in one lemon damsel, one caerulean damsel, and one pearl-spot chromis and one ocellaris clownfish in July, April, and May, respectively; Photobacterium damselae was detected in one ocellaris clownfish and one caerulean damsel in June and July, respectively; V. anguillarum was detected in one pearl-spot chromis in February; V. harveyi was detected in one ocellaris clownfish and two mandarin fish in February and April, respectively; Yersinia ruckeri was detected in a pearlscale goldfish group in June and July and in two colored carp groups in July; and Lactococcus garvieae was detected in a lemon damsel group and a sutchi catfish group in July and May, respectively. European catfish virus, the only viral pathogen detected, was found in two sutchi catfish groups in May. Conclusion: This study is the first to identify pathogenic species and the presence or absence of pathogens (non-quarantine diseases) in imported ornamental finfish. These results demonstrate that various pathogens with the potential to harm indigenous fish populations can accompany ornamental finfish imported into South Korea.
