上皮性细胞是由多种宿主特异性细胞内细菌感染鱼g引起的疾病。在地中海,上皮细胞最近与一个新的β-变形杆菌属有关,Ca。鱼鳞藻属。在本研究中,我们报告了一例在克里特岛野生捕获的pompanoTrachinotusovatus标本中的上皮细胞,希腊。部分16srRNA序列的分子分析导致发现了一种推定的新Ca物种。鱼鳞藻属。对NCBI中保存的密切相关序列之间的系统发育关系的研究表明,金头seabream中的细菌祖先可能在属的分化中起关键作用。
Epitheliocystis is a disease caused by a wide variety of host-specific intracellular bacteria infecting fish gills. In the Mediterranean Sea, epitheliocystis has been recently associated with a novel genus of beta-proteobacteria, the Ca. Ichthyocystis genus. In the present study, we report a
case of epitheliocystis in a wild-caught specimen of pompano Trachinotus ovatus in Crete, Greece. Molecular analysis of partial 16s rRNA sequence led to the discovery of a putative novel species of the Ca. Ichthyocystis genus. Investigation of the phylogenetic relationship between closely related sequences deposited in NCBI suggests that bacterial ancestors in gilthead seabream might have a pivotal role in the differentiation of genus.
