The Piscirickettsiaceae are a family of Pseudomonadota. All species are aerobes found in water.[2] The species Piscirickettsia salmonis is a fish pathogen and causes piscirickettsiosis in salmonid fishes.[3] It lives in cells of infected hosts and cannot be cultured on artificial media.[2] Piscirickettsia salmonis is nonmotile, whereas the other five genera are motile by using a single flagellum.[2]
