One of the major sources of financial loss for the fish farming industry is the occurrence of infections by pathogenic bacteria, especially multidrug-resistant variants. This problem is most prominent during the early stages of fish development and is difficult to address with traditional antibiotic treatment or vaccination. In this way, alternative environmentally-friendly biological strategies to control bacterial infections need to be implemented.

In this study we we provide evidences that the molecular methodology developed in this study can be used for overall quantification of P. damselae and subsequent detection of its subspecies in natural ecosystems and aquaculture systems.
