Characteristics of the Pathogen
The characteristics of the organism were considered by Gil et al. ( 2000 ) to match
the description of Sta. warneri. The culture recovered by Metin et al. ( 2014 ) displayed 99.93 % 16S rRNA gene sequence homology with the type strain in GenBank.
Pathogenicity
Infectivity of brown trout was achieved, with an LD 50 of 1.16 × 10
5 cells (Gil et al.
2000 ).
Disease Control
Use of Antimicrobial Compounds Sensitivity was recorded to amoxicillin, erythromycin and trimethoprim-sulphamethoxazole (Gil et al. 2000 ), which may be worthy of examination in in vivo experiments.

Yellow colonies develop on Sal Mannitol medium. Cells comprise catalase
positive, oxidase negative, facultatively anaerobic Gram-positive cocci, which
produce arginine dihydrolase, ß-glucosidase and urease, but not alkaline
phosphatase, and do not reduce nitrates. Acid is produced from sucrose and
trehalose, but not from L-arabinose, lactose, mannitol, mannose, raffi nose,
ribose or xylose (Gil et al. 2000 ).
