Abstract
The fish pathogen Streptococcus iniae cannot be identified by most commercial bacterial identification systems. The results presented here indicate that over 70% of our S. iniae isolates have been identified using the Biolog(R) GP microplate panels and Microlog(R) database. The isolates were confirmed as S. iniae by specific PCR methods and have been found to conform to the result obtained with the type strain S. iniae ATCC 29178.
