A total of 133 strains of Aeromonas salmonicida ssp. salmonicida , isolated from a wide variety of sources, were characterized by pulsed‐field gel electrophoresis patterns. Sixteen profiles were demonstrated, with one profile being predominant in samples from all the countries and species of fish. Our results suggest a clonal distribution of this subspecies, with a predominant clone being responsible for most of the outbreaks worldwide.
