- Abstract
The article discusses a study to determine if survivors from an experimental infection with bacterial kidney disease (BKD) developed protection against the bacterium after infection with live virulent or avirulent R. salmoninarum (Rs). Two isolates of Rs, the NCIMB 1111 and NCIMB 1113 seen as avirulent and virulent were cultured on selective kidney disease medium (SKDM) for 3 weeks at 15 degrees Centigrade. It indicates the need for further research to understand and identify the protective antigens in virulent and avirulent isolates of Rs and their role in the immune response against the bacterium particularly for cellular response.
