发现肠球菌 (ATCC 49156(T))（T = 型菌株）和格氏乳球菌 (ATCC 43921(T)) 的参考菌株以及从意大利患病虹鳟鱼中分离出的 30 株革兰氏阳性球菌野外菌株在表型（API 20 STREPT 和 API 50 CH）和遗传（DNA-DNA 杂交）方面相似。这些菌株之间的高 DNA-DNA 同源性 (70-100%) 和低 Delta T-m(e)（低于 1.1 摄氏度）表明，肠球菌和格氏乳球菌是同义词，描述了单一细菌物种。 E. seriolicida 菌株应归类为 L. garvieae，必须被视为世界范围内分布的淡水和咸水鱼的主要病原体。
The reference strains of Enterococcus seriolicida (ATCC 49156(T)) (T = type strain) and of Lactococcus garvieae (ATCC 43921(T)) and 30 field strains of Gram-positive cocci isolated from diseased rainbow trout in Italy were found to be phenotypically (API 20 STREPT and API 50 CH) and genetically (DNA-DNA hybridization) similar. The high DNA-DNA homologies (70-100%) and the low Delta T-m(e) (less than 1.1 degrees C) among these strains showed that Enterococcus seriolicida and Lactococcus garvieae are synonyms, describing a single bacterial species. E. seriolicida strains should be classified as L. garvieae, which must be considered as a major pathogen of freshwater and salt water fish with a world-wide distribution.
