Edwardsiella ictaluri sp. nov., the Causative Agent of Enteric Septicemia of Catfish
Abstract
We characterized 13 cultures of the enteric bacterium causing enteric septicemia of catfish by studying their biochemical reactions, deoxyribonucleic hybridizations, and deoxyribonucleic acid guanine-plus-cytosine contents. We confirmed that this bacterium is a new species, which is most closely related to Edwardsiella tarda of the family Enterobacteriaceae. Five strains of the bacterium causing enteric septicemia of catfish were 80% or more related to the type strain, SECFDL GA 77-52 (= CDC 1976-78 = ATCC 33202), in 60°C deoxyribonucleic acid homology reactions. Species level relatedness among the 13 strains which we studied was demonstrated by the more than 80% relatedness in 75°C reactions. The bacterium causing enteric septicemia of catfish was most closely related to E. tarda (56 to 62%) in 60°C reactions. The guanine-plus-cytosine was 53 mol%, as determined by buoyant density centrifugation. We propose the name Edwardsiella ictaluri sp. nov. for the bacterium causing enteric septicemia of catfish.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
