Streptococcus phocae detection kits

Streptococcus phocae a Gram-positive, catalase-negative cocci, was frequently involved in disease outbreaks in seals causing pneumonia or respiratory infection. Further studies described isolations of this species from Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, causing serious economic losses in the salmon industry. The disease is characterized by skin haemorrhages as petechias close to the anus, and at both sides of the fish, furuncles and lesions affecting the muscles, internal haemorrhages and congestion.
