“…The time‐to‐identification can be decreased when compared to other bacteriologic techniques such as biochemical profiling or immunofluorescent assays, and this is particularly true for slow‐growing organisms like R. salmoninarum . Its application and feasibility in the identification of bacterial species of freshwater and seawater finfish and crustacean species have been extensively reported (Bronzato et al, 2018; Jung‐Schroers et al, 2018; 2019; Moussa et al, 2021; Nhu et al, 2016; Ojasanya et al, 2022; Pečur Kazazić et al, 2019; Rahmani et al, 2021; Yolanda et al, 2019), including for the fastidious salmonid pathogens R. salmoninarum (Jansson et al, 2020), Flavobacterium species (Fernández‐Álvarez et al, 2018; Jansson et al, 2020), Piscirickettsia salmonis (Olate et al, 2016) and Tenacibaculum maritimum (Fernández‐Álvarez et al, 2017).…”
