Incidence of Aeromonas hydrophila and Plesiomonas shigelloides in Seafoods
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study was conducted to investigate the incidence of the pathogens Aeromonas hydrophila and Plesiomonas shigelloides in 700 seafoods (400 raw fish, 100 raw shrimps and 200 raw mollusks) collected from retailers. Isolations were performed by conventional culture methods. The isolates were also confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays. A. hydrophila and P. shigelloides were detected in 5.71% and 0.86% seafood samples, respectively. The highest rate of A. hydrophila (15%) was found in shrimp samples. P. shigelloides were only isolated from fish samples. The study is showed that effective methods to eliminate the Aeromonas and Plesiomonas species are needed.

Enteropathogenicity of Aeromonas hydrophila and Plesiomonas shigelloides: prevalence among individuals with and without diarrhea in Thailand.
To evaluate the enteropathogenicity of Aeromonas hydrophila and Plesiomonas shigelloides, the rate of isolation of these organisms was compared among individuals with and without diarrhea in Thailand. In two groups of American travelers, A. hydrophila, but not P. shigelloides, was associated with episodes of travelers diarrhea more often than when individuals did not have diarrhea (P less than ...

متن کاملIsolation and Partial Characterization of Two Aeromonas hydrophila Bacteriophages.
Two Aeromonas hydrophila bacteriophages, Aeh1 and Aeh2, were isolated from sewage. Both phages showed binal symmetry. The dimensions of A. hydrophila phages Aeh1 and Aeh2 differed from those of the other Aeromonas phages. Also, phage Aeh2 was the largest Aeromonas phage studied to date. Phage Aeh1 formed small, clear plaques, and phage Aeh2 formed turbid plaques with clear centers. Both phages ...

Thirty-three strains of bacteria (30 Enterobacteriaceae and one strain each of Aeromonas formicans, A. hydrophila, and Plesiomonas shigelloides) were tested three times in each of 27 conventional tests and in the API, Enterotube, and Pathotec systems. The results obtained were analysed for test reproducibility within each kit, correlation of the kit tests with the equivalent conventional media,...
