Alternative host model to evaluate Aeromonas virulence.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Bacterial virulence can only be assessed by confronting bacteria with a host. Here, we present a new simple assay to evaluate Aeromonas virulence, making use of Dictyostelium amoebae as an alternative host model. This assay can be modulated to assess virulence of very different Aeromonas species.

Tetrahymena: An Alternative Model Host for Evaluating Virulence of Aeromonas Strains
An easier assessment model would be helpful for high-throughput screening of Aeromonas virulence. The previous study indicated the potential of Tetrahymena as a permissive model to examine virulence of Aeromonas hydrophila. Here our aim was to assess virulence of Aeromonas spp. using two model hosts, a zebrafish assay and Tetrahymena-Aeromonas co-culture, and to examine whether data from the Te...
متن کاملAeromonas hydrophila, one reason causing the death of freshwater crayfish Procambarus clarkii (Girard, 1852)
Procambarus clarkii crayfish has been developed as an excellent animal model to study the characteristics and pathogenesis of white spot syndrome virus and the host defense mechanisms of crustacean. However, due to pathogen infections of crayfish in Chinese farms, research based on this model has been slowed down. Using triplex polymerase chain reaction, we found the virulence Aeromonas hydroph...
متن کاملThe Animal Model Determines the Results of Aeromonas Virulence Factors
The selection of an experimental animal model is of great importance in the study of bacterial virulence factors. Here, a bath infection of zebrafish larvae is proposed as an alternative model to study the virulence factors of Aeromonas hydrophila. Intraperitoneal infections in mice and trout were compared with bath infections in zebrafish larvae using specific mutants. The great advantage of t...
متن کاملVirulence and Molecular Characterization of Aeromonas Spp. from Fish Samples Using Ardra Technique
The detection of Virulence factors of Aeromonas spp. is a key component in determining potential pathogenicity because these factors act Multifuntionally and Multifactorially. In this study, totally 50 carp fish samples were collected, Among these, 8 samples were found to be positive for Aeromonas hydrophila and 13 were found to be positive for Aeromonas salmonicida. Antibiotic resistant patter...
متن کاملAeromonas dhakensis, an Increasingly Recognized Human Pathogen
Aeromonas dhakensis was first isolated from children with diarrhea in Dhaka, Bangladesh and described in 2002. In the past decade, increasing evidence indicate this species is widely distributed in the environment and can cause a variety of infections both in human and animals, especially in coastal areas. A. dhakensis is often misidentified as A. hydrophila, A. veronii, or A. caviae by commerc...
