Abstract:
A live attenuated  Edwardsiella ictaluri  bacterium lacking a viable gene encoding a functional evpB protein and a method of using the same to protect fish against infection from virulent  Edwardsiella ictaluri . The methods and compositions for protecting fish against infection from virulent  Edwardsiella ictaluri  comprising administering to a fish a therapeutically effective amount of an attenuated  Edwardsiella ictaluri  bacterium lacking a viable gene encoding a functional protein selected from the group consisting of evpB, fur and hfq. The bacterium may include an insertion and/or deletion mutation in the gene. The fish include catfish, preferably catfish fingerling or a catfish fry. The composition may be delivered via immersion delivery, an injection delivery, an oral delivery, or combinations thereof.

Claim (Index 5):
A vaccine for protecting fish against  Edwardsiella ictaluri  infection comprising an immunogenically effective amount of an attenuated  Edwardsiella ictaluri  bacterium, the bacterium lacking a viable gene encoding a functional protein by having deletions of the coding sequence of a gene selected from the group consisting of ferric uptake regulator (Fur) and hfq.
