Purification and characterization of cytolytic toxins produced by Aeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas veronii biotype sobria strains.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. Moreover, these toxins revealed cytotonic activity to CHO cells.

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...
متن کاملVirulence properties of motile aeromonads isolated from farmed frogs Rana tigerina and R. rugulosa.
Virulence factors were compared in Aeromonas species isolated from clinically normal and septicaemic farmed frogs from Thailand. Haemolysin activities against frog erythrocytes were significantly different within the collection of aeromonads. Groups of high haemolytic activity (unspeciated Aeromonas, Au), moderate haemolytic activity (A. hydrophila), and low haemolytic activity (A. veronii biov...
متن کاملIn 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...

This study aimed to compare the clinical presentations of Aeromonas hydrophila, A. veronii biovar sobria and A. caviae monomicrobial bacteremia by a retrospective method at three hospitals in Taiwan during an 8-yr period. There were 87 patients with A. hydrophila bacteremia, 45 with A. veronii biovar sobria bacteremia and 22 with A. caviae bacteremia. Compared with A. hydrophila and A. veronii ...

From October 1995 to February 1997, 13 isolates of Aeromonas species were recovered from four patients treated at National Taiwan University Hospital (Taipei). One of the patients, a diabetic, had simultaneous Aeromonas veronii biotype veronii bacteremia and A. veronii biotype sobria urinary tract infection. Seven weeks after the episode, the patient had necrotizing fasciitis due to A. veronii ...
