RESUMO
A serotyping scheme based on the detection of O antigens by slide agglutination in fish-pathogenic strains of Vibrio anguillarum is presented. Over a period of 5 years 270 Vibrio strains from feral and cultured fish, 189 strains from the environment, and 36 strains from invertebrates were collected. The strains were divided into 10 distinct serotypes (O1 through O10). More than 90% of the fish-pathogenic strains, but only 40% of the environmental strains, were typable; 71% of the strains isolated from cultured rainbow trout were serotype O1, whereas 78% of the strains isolated from feral fish were serotype O2. No dominating environmental serotype was found. A serotyping system for V. anguillarum is proposed. A total of 90 strains received from culture collections and laboratories in different countries were typed according to the present system.
