Piscirickettsiaceae Infections

Infections with bacteria of the family PISCIRICKETTSIACEAE, causing septicemic disease of salmonid fish (SALMONIDAE). Piscirickettsia-like bacteria are also associated with disease syndromes in non-salmonid fish.

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Piscirickettsiaceae Infections:

1.	VaccinesIBA 03/01/2014 - "Piscirickettsiosis has been difficult to control; the failure of antibiotic treatment is common, and currently used vaccines show variable long-term efficacy. "
2.	Recombinant ProteinsIBA 06/05/2006 - "We report here the protective effect against piscirickettsiosis elicited in fish by a mixture of recombinant proteins. "
3.	ParaffinIBA 10/01/2008 - "Diagnosis of piscirickettsiosis has traditionally been based upon identification of typical pathological changes by histological investigation, with confirmation by immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. "
4.	Oxolinic AcidIBA 05/01/2011 - "Interestingly, when p20 was tested against the very aggressive bacterial pathogen Piscirickettsia salmonis, a common co-infectant of IPNV in salmonid fish, the specific activity of the novel peptide was significantly higher than that displayed for bactericidal fish farm antibiotics such as oxolinic acid, flumequine and florfenicol, which are commonly used to control Piscirickettsiosis in the field. "
5.	Formaldehyde (Formol)FDA Link 10/01/2008 - "Diagnosis of piscirickettsiosis has traditionally been based upon identification of typical pathological changes by histological investigation, with confirmation by immunohistochemistry on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues. "
6.	ExotoxinsIBA 08/01/2013 - "Results show that P. salmonis can produce ECPs and at least some of them are thermolabile exotoxins that probably play a role in the pathogenesis of piscirickettsiosis. " 08/01/2013 - "Evidence of exotoxin secretion of Piscirickettsia salmonis, the causative agent of piscirickettsiosis."
7.	Carbon MonoxideIBA 05/01/2011 - "Interestingly, when p20 was tested against the very aggressive bacterial pathogen Piscirickettsia salmonis, a common co-infectant of IPNV in salmonid fish, the specific activity of the novel peptide was significantly higher than that displayed for bactericidal fish farm antibiotics such as oxolinic acid, flumequine and florfenicol, which are commonly used to control Piscirickettsiosis in the field.
