title: Diversity among strains causing bacterial kidney disease in salmonid fish.
abstract: A study was made of the biochemical, cultural, morphological, physiological and serological characters of 25 Gram-positive bacterial isolates of bacterial kidney disease in salmonid fish. Two distinct homogenous phena and seven single-member clusters were defined as a result of overall similarity based on analyses with the Jaccard coefficient. One phenon was equated withCorynebacterium pyogenes, but the second represents a novel taxon.
