BULLETIN OF THE EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION OF FISH PATHOLOGISTS
Abstract
Two recently isolated Photobacterium damselae subspecies piscicida (Pasteurella piscicida) isolates were tested against various antibody probes (prepared in rabbits, mice and sea bass) in in vitro growth inhibition studies using three media formulations. The best suppressive activity was noted with sea bass antibodies; this activity was influenced by the culture medium used for the growth of the pathogen and the virulence of the isolate. Results are discussed in view to future vaccine development.
