Siderophore production by Aeromonas salmonicida.
Growth under conditions of iron-restriction and the production of siderophores was examined in 21 typical and 14 atypical strains of Aeromonas salmonicida. With the exception of one atypical strain, all strains grew and multiplied in the presence of the high-affinity iron chelators ethylenediamine di(o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid), alpha, alpha'-dipyridyl or transferrin. Chrome azurol S agar was u...
متن کاملAeromonas species endogenous endophthalmitis
INTRODUCTION Aeromonas spp. are Gram-negative bacteria classically associated with water sources and a variety of clinical infections in humans. CASE PRESENTATION A 79-year-old female patient presented with gastroenteritis with associated Aeromonas spp. bloodstream infection. Two days after admission she developed eye symptoms and was diagnosed with endophthalmitis and underwent emergency evi...
متن کاملEvidence for a type III secretion system in Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida.
Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida, the etiological agent of furunculosis, is an important fish pathogen. We have screened this bacterium with a broad-host-range probe directed against yscV, the gene that encodes the archetype of a highly conserved family of inner membrane proteins found in every known type III secretion system. This has led to the identification of seven open reading fra...
متن کاملThe Role for the Small Cryptic Plasmids As Moldable Vectors for Genetic Innovation in Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida
In Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida, a bacterium that causes fish disease, there are two types of small plasmids (<15 kbp): plasmids without known function, called cryptic plasmids, and plasmids that bear beneficial genes for the bacterium. Four among them are frequently detected in strains of A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida: pAsa1, pAsa2, pAsa3, and pAsal1. The latter harbors a gene ...
متن کاملAcquisition of iron by Aeromonas salmonicida.
The ability of six typical and three atypical strains of Aeromonas salmonicida to sequester Fe3+ from the high-affinity iron chelators ethylenediaminedihydroxy-phenylacetic acid, lactoferrin, and transferrin was determined. Typical strains were readily able to sequester Fe3+ and used two different mechanisms. One mechanism was inducible and appeared to involve production of a low-molecular-weig...
