A new Multilocus Sequence Typing scheme and its application for the characterization of Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae associated with mortality in cetaceans

Photobacterium damselae subsp. damselae (PDD) is a known pathogen of fish, humans and marine mammals. In this study, a Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) scheme based on six housekeeping genes (glp, gyrB, metG, pnt, pyrC and toxR) was developed to better understand the PDD population structure and us...
