Growth of Aeromonas species on enteric agars.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The efficacy of eight routine enteric agars for supporting the growth of 32 strains of Aeromonas spp. (17 A. hydrophila strains, 8 A. sobria strains, and 7 A. caviae strains) was investigated. The plating efficiency of Aeromonas spp. on these media varied greatly (range, 0 to 100%), as did their colony size when compared with that on noninhibitory medium (5% sheep blood agar). Plating efficiency on seven of these eight media appeared to be strain- and not species dependent. Overall, eosin-methylene blue and Hektoen enteric agars showed low plating efficiencies for A. hydrophila, whereas both A. sobria and A. caviae were severely inhibited on brilliant green agar. When all these species are considered collectively, deoxycholate, MacConkey, and xylose lysine deoxycholate appeared to be the most satisfactory routine agars for Aeromonas spp. recovery when used in conjunction with blood agar.

متن کاملAeromonas spp. and their association with human diarrheal disease.
Between January 1988 and December 1989 Aeromonas species were isolated from 45 (1.8%) of 2,480 patients with acute gastroenteritis. No other bacterial enteric pathogens were found in any of these 45 patients. Of the 45 Aeromonas isolates, 35 strains (77.8%) were Aeromonas hydrophila, 7 (15.5%) were Aeromonas sobria, and 3 (6.7%) were Aeromonas caviae. Most of the patients were under 5 years of ...

The biochemical characteristics of 97 invasive Escherichia coli strains of different O serogroups were studied. Considered as a group, the behavior of the strains was quite variable. However, none of them decarboxylated lysine and all but seven strains, belonging to the O124 serogroup, were nonmotile. The growth of 25 strains obtained on MacConkey, salmonella-shigella, xylose-lysine-desoxychola...

The phenotypic characteristics of 89 Aeromonas strains, most of which had been isolated from feces, were examined. Eighty-two percent of the isolates could be placed into one of four groups on the basis of five tests. The relationship of these groups to the three motile species of Aeromonas (Aeromonas caviae, A. hydrophila, and A. sobria) that have been isolated from humans is unclear. Because ...
