ABSTRACT
Successive pathogenic bacteria were examined from liver,spleen, kidney and contents of intestine of diseased stone flounder (Kareius bicoloratus L.) occurring bacterial septicaemia infection caused by Aeromonas salmonicida. Identification of extensive phenotypic information to 6 pure cultures and detection of the mol% G+C ratio of the DNA to representative strains,showed that the examined bacteria belonged to a new morphovar of Acinetobacter junii, and was designated as Acinetobacter junii morphovar I. In addition, serotype, antibiotic sensitivity and pathogenicity of isolates were studied, the results showed that the 6 strains have the same K-antigen and O-antigen, there are no obvious differences in sensitivity and resistance to used 37 antimicrobial agents between strains, and have strong pathogenicity to experimental stone flounder and Bastard halibut.
