This might have addressed the arguments between the Japanese and American investigators with regard to the difficulty of differentiating isolates from fish and humans by the time and ended up classifying all into same species i.e. "Edwardsiella tarda". "Edwardsiella tarda" is widely distributed throughout the world. It has been found from the water in Japan all the way to the United States. In Japan it
