Abstract
ABSTRACT
Histamine fish poisoning is caused by histamine-producing bacteria (HPB).
Klebsiella pneumoniae
and
Klebsiella oxytoca
are the best-known HPB in fish. However, 22 strains of HPB from fish first identified as
K. pneumoniae
or
K. oxytoca
by commercialized systems were later correctly identified as
Raoultella planticola
(formerly
Klebsiella planticola
) by additional tests. Similarly, five strains of
Raoultella ornithinolytica
(formerly
Klebsiella ornithinolytica
) were isolated from fish as new HPB.
R. planticola
and
R. ornithinolytica
strains were equal in their histamine-producing capabilities and were determined to possess the
hdc
genes, encoding histidine decarboxylase. On the other hand, a collection of 61 strains of
K. pneumoniae
and 18 strains of
K. oxytoca
produced no histamine.
