Abstract
Bacteria were cultured from a chronic skin ulceration on a shark, Carc harhinus plumbeus (Nardo), kept in the Genoa Aquarium, Italy. Sixteen out of 18 isolated strains belonged to Vibrio spp. Identification thro ugh fatty acid composition analysis and biochemical tests showed that V. carchariae, the most recently described Vibrio species, were the pr edominant bacteria isolated from the ulcer.
