Complete genome sequence and comparative analysis of the fish pathogen Lactococcus garvieae.
Lactococcus garvieae causes fatal haemorrhagic septicaemia in fish such as yellowtail. The comparative analysis of genomes of a virulent strain Lg2 and a non-virulent strain ATCC 49156 of L. garvieae revealed that the two strains shared a high degree of sequence identity, but Lg2 had a 16.5-kb capsu...

Lactococcus garvieae causes fatal haemorrhagic septicaemia in fish such as yellowtail.
