Correlation of enterotoxicity with biotype in Aeromonas spp

In vitro antimicrobial susceptibility of clinical isolates of Aeromonas caviae, Aeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas veronii biotype sobria.

Sir, The genus Aeromonas comprises 14 species, although its taxonomy has not yet been resolved. The main species considered to be pathogenic in humans are Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas caviae and Aeromonas veronii biotype sobria. These species can cause both gastrointestinal and extraintestinal infectious diseases. Aeromonas gastroenteritis is generally self-limiting and, except in immunocomp...

Purification and characterization of cytolytic toxins produced by Aeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas veronii biotype sobria strains.

Cytolytic toxins produced by Aeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas veronii biotype sobria strains were partially purified from culture filtrates by two steps of purification: ammonium sulfate precipitation and hydrophobic chromatography using Phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B. Hemolytic activity was detected in one or two peaks in elution profile. Purified toxins were also cytotoxic to Vero and CHO cells. Mo...

Behaviour of Aeromonas spp. after animal passage.

Interaction of Aeromonas spp. human isolates with murine macrophages.

This study aimed to evaluate phagocytic and bactericidal activity of macrophages originated from murine J774 macrophage cell line against 26 strains of Aeromonas caviae, Aeromonas veronii biotype sobria and Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from human fecal specimens. The analysis of phagocytic index (PI) indicated these strains were phagocytosed in low numbers, below 1.1 x l0(-3) for 65% strains o...
