“…It appears that sea lamprey R. salmoninarum isolates possess the same affinity for kidney tissues as that of salmonid isolates. The morphologic criteria and biochemical reactions of the sea lamprey isolates coincided with those described for R. salmoninarum (Sanders and Fryer, 1980). The size of the detected amplicon band (320 bp) in both kidney tissues and cultured isolates using nPCR was consistent with that published for R. salmoninarum Chase and Pascho, 1998).…”

ABSTRACT:Bacterial kidney disease (BKD), caused by Renibacterium salmoninarum, is a widespread problem with major implications for salmonid fish species. The mechanisms by which the bacterium has reached high levels of infection previously unrecorded in the Laurentian Great Lakes are presently unknown. Research involving reservoirs and mechanisms of R. salmoninarum transmission in fish is lacking because of the ecologic complexity of heterogeneous habitats and the lack of adequate funding. Herein, we report on the isolation of R. salmoninarum from the kidneys of the sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus). The bacterium was cultured from kidneys of 16% and 4% of lampreys collected from two locations within the Lake Ontario watershed in 2003 and 2004, respectively. The identity of bacterial colonies was verified with the nested polymerase chain reaction and quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

“…Bacterial kidney disease (BKD) infections oc curring among salmonid fish in many areas of Canada are caused by a fastidious Gram positive diplobacillus (BELL, 1961;PIPPY, 1969;EVELYN et al, 1973 ;YAMAMOTO, 1975;PATERSON et al, 1979) recently named Renibacterium salmoninarum (Sanders and Fryer, 1980). At the Canadian Government Fish Culture Sta tion on the Margaree River, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia; overt, or symptomatic BKD infections occur annually among Atlantic salmon (Salmo solar) during smoltification (PIETY, 1969;FRANTSI et al, 1975).…”

“…Cultured plates were checked every 5 days for any bacterial growth. Identification of the isolates was done according to the standard morphological and biochemical criteria of R. salmoninarum [17]. A number of biochemical tests on each isolate were performed including motility, using motility test medium (DIFCO-BD and Company Sparks, MD, USA), cytochrome oxidase with Pathotec strips (Remel, USA), catalase test with 3% hydrogen peroxide, hydrolysis of esculin using bile esculin agar (Remel), and DNAse test using DNAse test medium (Remel).…”

A number of clinical Bacterial Kidney Disease (BKD) outbreaks caused by Renibacterium salmoninarum infection among the hatchery reared brook (BKT) trout lots were presented during 2002-2004 to the Aquatic Animal Health Laboratory, Michigan State University, MI, USA. Diagnosis of these mortality episodes was performed thorough clinical examination, quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (Q-ELISA), nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR), culture, histopathology and immunohistochemistry (IHC). The possible causes that lead to the initiation and progression of such outbreaks have been investigated. Although Q-ELISA, nPCR and culture results for all of the examined cases indicated a heavy infection with R. salmoninarum, inconsistent results were obtained by histopathology and immunohistochemical examination of the paraffin embedded blocks of the formalin fixed kidney tissues. This study also included assessment of R. salmoninarum infection status in a subsample of BKT broodstocks of the same hatchery. Results indicated the presence of chronic infection in the broodstock with BKDpathognomonic granulomas occupying fairly large portions of the kidney tissues.
