Draft Genome Sequences of Four Virulent Aeromonas hydrophila Strains from Catfish Aquaculture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since 2009, a clonal group of virulent Aeromonas hydrophila strains has been causing severe disease in the catfish aquaculture industry in the southeastern United States. Here, we report draft genomes of four A. hydrophila isolates from catfish aquaculture that represent this clonal group.

An Asian Origin of Virulent Aeromonas hydrophila Responsible for Disease Epidemics in United States-Farmed Catfish
UNLABELLED Since 2009, catfish farming in the southeastern United States has been severely impacted by a highly virulent and clonal population of Aeromonas hydrophila causing motile Aeromonas septicemia (MAS) in catfish. The possible origin of this newly emerged highly virulent A. hydrophila strain is unknown. In this study, we show using whole-genome sequencing and comparative genomics that A....
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequences of Three Aeromonas hydrophila Isolates from Catfish and Tilapia
Aeromonas hydrophila is a Gram-negative bacterium that is particularly adapted to freshwater environments and can cause severe infections in fish and humans. Here, we report the draft genomes of three A. hydrophila catfish and tilapia isolates.
متن کاملRapid quantitative detection of Aeromonas hydrophila strains associated with disease outbreaks in catfish aquaculture.
A new strain of Aeromonas hydrophila has been implicated in significant losses in farm-raised catfish. Outbreaks attributable to this new strain began in Alabama in the summer of 2009 and have spread to Arkansas and Mississippi in subsequent years. These outbreaks mostly afflicted market-sized fish and resulted in considerable losses in short periods of time. The present research was designed t...
متن کاملComplete Genome Sequence of Fish Pathogen Aeromonas hydrophila AL06-06
Aeromonas hydrophila occurs in freshwater environments and infects fish and mammals. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Aeromonas hydrophila AL06-06, which was isolated from diseased goldfish and is being used for comparative genomic studies with A. hydrophila strains that cause bacterial septicemia in channel catfish aquaculture.
متن کاملPotential for Great Egrets (ardea Alba) to Transmit a Virulent Strain of Aeromonas Hydrophila among Channel Catfish (ictalurus Punctatus) Culture Ponds.
Aeromonas hydrophila is a gram-negative, rod-shaped, facultative, anaerobic bacterium that is ubiquitous in freshwater and slightly brackish aquatic environments and infects fish, humans, reptiles, and birds. Recent severe outbreaks of disease in commercial channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) aquaculture ponds have been associated with a highly virulent A. hydrophila strain (VAH), which is ge...
