The 01-B526 strain is shown as an example of strain displaying the conventional profile. a*Further information not known or not traceable. bFMVUM: Laboratoire de bactériologie clinique, Faculté de médecine vétérinaire, Université de Montréal (Montreal, QC, Canada); FHRC: Félix d’Hérelle Reference Center, Département de biochimie, de microbiologie et de bio-informatique, Université Laval (Quebec City, QC, Canada); MAPAQ: Ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation du Québec; FOC: Aquatic Animal Health Department, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (NB, Canada); NB: New Brunswick; NS: Nova Scotia; QC: Quebec. cCryptic means that the bands for the pAsa1, pAsa2 and pAsa3 plasmids were visible on the gel. The sizes of bands other than pAsa1, pAsa2, pAsa3, or pAsal1 are indicated in kb. dP: positive PCR; N: negative PCR. eR: resistant; S: sensitive
