An Enterococcus sp. causing severe mortalities among farmed turbot (Scophthalmus maximus) has recently been detected in northwest Spain. We found that specific turbot serum antibodies raised against isolate RA-99.1 of the new pathogen by intraperitoneal immunization, did not cross react in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with other enterococcal or non-enterococcal Grampositive bacteria. In immunoblotting, antibodies raised against strain RA-99.1 recognized the same components in the homologous total soluble antigen preparation (TSA) as in TSA of two other isolates of the pathogen obtained from different farms. Anti-RA-99.1 serum also recognized some components of the TSA of several other Gram-positive bacteria. Immunogold labelling indicated that the antigens which provoke the humoral immune response to this pathogen are located mainly on the bacterial surface.
