AB - Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) primers were designed to detect
Edwardsiella ictaluri in tissue and water samples. Three pairs of primers
were designed and tested against the E. ictaluri type strain (ATCC No.
33202). The primers for pEI1 and EIl6s were very sensitive for the detection
of E. ictaluri in water and tissue samples of fish experimentally infected
with different bacterial dilutions. The PCR conditions described were optimized
to obtain results in 5 h. This PCR has the potential of detecting low levels
of E. ictaluri in tissue and water samples allowing for the timely detection
of enteric septcaemia of catfish in farms.
