Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) is the aquaculture species that has had sustainable growth in recent years in Perú, and presents challenges against its productivity, such as bacterial diseases, among which the yersiniosis, whose causative agent is Yersinia ruckeri, one of the most prevalent diseases in Peruvian trout farming. In the present study, the presence of 7 genes that are associated with virulence was detected in 52 biochemically and molecularly confirmed pathogenic strains, from 4 aquaculture centers in the Junín and Lima regions. The presence of the 7 genes analyzed with a variable pattern was detected. The 52 strains analyzed were for the genes studied, being the uvrY gene (98%) the most frequent, followed by the yrpA (96%), barA (92%), and yhlA (92%) genes. The yrpB gene (27%) was the least frequent. Nine profiles were found according to the detection of virulence genes, which suggests the genomic flexibility of this bacterium, however other factors may have influenced the heterogeneity of the data obtained. The identification of the frequencies of the strains that shared the greatest number of virulence determinants was for rucC₊, yhlA₊, yrp1₊, yrpA₊, barA₊ and uvrY₊ that were probably affecting the cultivation of rainbow trout. The results obtained show that the Y. ruckeri strains isolated from aquaculture centers in Junín and Lima present genetic loci that code for the main virulence factors: proteases, lipases, hemolysins and siderophores.
