EDWARDSIELLA PISCICIDA
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Edwardsiella |
| Species: | Edwardsiella piscicida |
| Description: | Gram-negative, straight bacilli, 1.0 x 2.0–3.0 μm, usually motile by peritrichous flagella(nonmotile strains may occur). No capsule production Growth occurs on usual media, producing small colonies (0.5-1.0 mm in diameter) after 24 h incubation. Optimum temperature, 37 ºC.E. piscicida on blood agar after 24 h of incubation at 30 ºC is pin-point, circular, slightly convex, smooth and glistening with slight beta-haemolysis visible only under the colony. Growth can occur at 25, 37 and 42 ºC but not at 12 ºC. Growth occurs at NaCl concentrations of 1-3% but not at 5% or above. |
