Abstract
Live attenuated bacteria vaccines against enteric septicemia of fish, especially catfish, and methods related to the same. Mutant strains of the bacteria(a pathogenic bacterial strain of) are provided. The mutantbacteria (or other pathogenic bacterial strain of) contain one or more gene deletions or disruptions that result in less virulent bacterial strains as live attenuated vaccine compositions against virulent wild-typebacteria (or other pathogenic bacterial strain of). The mutant strains showing the best immunological protection and safety as a vaccine are the triple mutants ESC-NDKL1 (ΔgcvPΔsdhCΔfrdA) strain and ESC-NDKL2 (ΔgcvPΔsdhCΔmdh) strain, with the ESC-NDKL1 strain providing the greatest safety and efficacy of these two triple mutants.
