Streptococcus agalactiae is one of the most important pathogens infecting tilapia worldwide. In this study, we determined the serotype, sequence type (ST), virulence gene profile and pathogenicity of S. agalactiae isolated from cultured fish. A collection of 256 S. agalactiae that were previously is...
