Organs parasitized by E. miricola in P. nigromaculatus. (a) PCR identification of bacteria in diseased frogs. Up: identification of E. miricola with 16S-rRNA-specific primers; 1: Escherichia coli; 2: Klebsiella pneumoniae; 3: Aeromonas veronii; 4: A. hydrophila; 5: Pseudomonas plecoglossicida; 6: Stenotrophomonas sp. Down: confirmation of strains of P. nigromaculatus in the experimental group. (b) Tissue distribution of E. miricola in P. nigromaculatus. Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences between groups.
