Twenty-four Yersinia ruckeri strains isolated from farmed rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Walbaum), in Mersin Province (Turkey) were investigated for phenotypic and genetic homogeneity by conventional microbiological techniques, the ID32GN system and arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR). All isolates displayed phenotypic and genetic homogeneity by these techniques.
