Preferred Label : Renibacterium salmoninarum;
Définition CISMeF : Renibacterium salmoninarum is a member of the Micrococcaceae family. It is a Gram-positive,
intracellular bacterium that causes disease in young salmonid fish. The infection
is most commonly known as bacterial kidney disease but may also be referred to as
BKD, White Boil Disease, Dee Disease, Salmonid Kidney Disease and Corynebacterial
Kidney Disease. It is of significant ecologic importance due to its effect on both
farmed and wild salmonids. The disease is found in North America, Europe, Japan, Chile
and Scandinavia, and is spread both vertically and horizontally. Pacific salmon appear
to be the most susceptible to the disease (source https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renibacterium_salmoninarum).;
