According to the results of phenotypical test and 16S rDNA sequencing analysis, the isolated bacterial species was identified as Staphylococcus hominis. Histopathologically, hyperplasia of primary lamellae, lamellar telangiectasia, edema and hemorrhages on the gill arch, numerous melanomacrophage centers insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MMCs); in the spleen tissue, vacuoler degeneration, necrose and hemorrhages in the liver, multifocal necrosis, and numerous MMC in the kidney were determined and hemorrhages in the tunica propria region of the intestine were observed.
