Incidence of "oxidase-variable" strains of Aeromonas hydrophila.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Certain strains of Aeromonas hydrophila are oxidase negative when grown on gram-negative selective and differential media. Of 100 strains of A. hydrophila examined, 8 were found to possess this characteristic. Information is provided on how to detect these common variants of A. hydrophila.

Role of pH in oxidase variability of Aeromonas hydrophila.
Some strains of Aeromonas hydrophila may be oxidase negative or only weakly oxidase positive by the Kovacs method taken from the surface of a differential medium, such as MacConkey agar. Six strains of A. hydrophila, two oxidase variable, one oxidase constant, and three weakly oxidase positive on MacConkey agar, were studied to determine the cause of oxidase variability. The bacteriostatic dyes...
متن کاملCharacterization and Distribution of Virulence Factors in Aeromonas hydrophila Strains Isolated from Fecal Samples of Diarrheal and Asymptomatic Healthy Persons, in Ilam, Iran
Aeromonas hydrophila secretes several extracellular proteins including enterotoxin, hemolysin and aerolysin that are associated with the bacterial virulence. Previous studies have shown that two hemolytic toxins, hemolysin A and aerolysin A contribute to the virulence of Aeromonas hydrophila. In the current study, a total of 50 strains of Aeromonas hydrophila, including 28 (56%) strains isolate...
متن کاملMedium for the isolation of Aeromonas hydrophila.
A new differential medium, Rimler-Shotts, was tested with 109 isolates representing 13 genera of bacteria obtained from aquatic environments and animals. This medium was effective in presumptive identification of the strains of Aeromonas hydrophila examined, with 94% accuracy. Strains of Citrobacter which were hydrogen sulfide-variable could not be separated from A. hydrophila. This medium was ...
متن کاملResearch Article: Isolation, biochemical and molecular detection of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis from the digestive system of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and its inhibitory effect on Aeromonas hydrophila
Our study was focused on characterization of dominant Bacillus bacteria isolated from the digestive tract of Oncorhynchus mykiss. After 8 weeks, the fish fed with probiotic-free diet were dissected under strictly controlled conditions. Fish intestines were eviscerated and its content diluted to 10−4 using Ringer solution. Two isolated bacteria were Gram-positive, catalase-positive, and oxidase-...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Resistance of Β-haemolytic Aeromonas Hydrophila Strains Isolated from Rainbow Trouts (oncorhynchus Mykiss)
The aim of this study was to isolate β-haemolytic Aeromonas hydrophila strains from live rainbow trouts (Oncorhynchus mykiss) destined for human consumption and to investigate their resistance to antimicrobial drugs. Sterile swab samples were collected from 52 rainbow trouts. Fifteen (28.8%) βhaemolytic Aeromonas strains were isolated from collected 52 swab samples. Through API 20 NE, 12 of the...
