Piscirickettsia salmonis is the bacterial causative agent of an epizootic disease in salmonid fishes, piscirickettsiosis.[1] It replicates within membrane-bound cytoplasmic vacuoles in host cells. Its type strain is ATCC(R) VR 1361.[2] It has a major impact in salmon populations, having a mortality rate of about 90% in some species of fish.
