Abstract
It was recently reported that Streptococcus iniae, a bacterial pathoge n of aquatic animals, can cause serious disease in humans. Using the c haperonin 60 (Cpn60) gene identification method with reverse checkerbo ard hybridization and chemiluminescent detection, we identified correc tly each of 12 S. iniae samples among 34 aerobic gram-positive isolate s from animal and clinical human sources.
