Streptococcus iniae is a major fish pathogen that produces invasive infections that result in economic losses in aquaculture. In this study, the draft genome sequence of Streptococcus iniae strain IUSA-1, isolated from a natural outbreak affecting gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) and red porgy (Pagrus pagrus), is presented.

All organisms have evolved sophisticated antioxidant networks and enzymes to counteract reactive radicals, among which thioredoxin (Trx) systems are especially noteworthy. Thioredoxin domain-containing protein 17 (TXNDC17) is a ubiquitously expressed enzyme with oxidoreductase activity belonging to the Trx protein family. This study successfully uncovered and analyzed the TXNDC17 gene in Scomber japonicus (SjTXNDC17).

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to create a more effective detection method for a pathogen that can affect various animals by using a droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) technique, focusing on a specific target gene.
  • - The optimized conditions for the ddPCR method showed high sensitivity (down to 0.56 copies·μL), specificity (no cross-reactivity with 15 other pathogens), and a strong correlation with real-time PCR results.
  • - Analysis of 48 clinical samples revealed that 21 were positive for the pathogen, confirming the effectiveness of the ddPCR method for accurate detection in different aquatic environments.
