Aeromonas veronii is a human pathogen that causes diarrhea, wound infections and hemorrhagic septicemia. A. veronii isolated from Gomti river water and identified on basis of 16S rRNA sequences, which showed the high degree of homology with existing sequences. Moreover, the 16S rRNA sequences were also being used for modeling of RNA secondary structures and resembles with Gibbs free energy of o...

BACKGROUND Although rare, bloodstream infections caused by Aeromonas tend to be very severe and progress rapidly. CASE REPORT We report a case of an 81-year-old man with fetal septicemia and endotoxin shock caused by Aeromonas hydrophila. The patient had dilated cardiomyopathy, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, interstitial pneumonitis and renal dysfunction was admitted to our hospital with che...

A total of 50 strains of Aeromonas spp. were isolated from 50 water and fish samples, and identified biochemically and genetically. Biochemical characterization indicated that 20 out of 50 aeromonads were A. veronii, 19 were A. caviae, 9 were A. hydrophila and 2 were A. trota. Molecular identification of isolated aeromonads revealed restriction profile of four species i.e. A. sobria, A. media, ...

OROZOVA, P., V. CHIKOVA and H. NAJDENSKI, 2010. Antibiotic resistance of pathogenic for fish isolates of Aeromonas spp. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 16: 376-386 This study has determined and compared the antibiotic resistance towards various groups of antibiotics of 25 isolates from Aeromonas spp. with different origin. The strains have been isolated from drinking water and fish samples in Bulgaria, a...

A total of 74 phenotypically identified presumptive motile Aeromonas isolates recovered from septicaemic freshwater ornamental fish in Sri Lanka were genetically characterized by sequencing of rpoD and gyrB genes. rpoD/gyrB phylogeny confirmed only 53 isolates as Aeromonas, among which A. veronii was the predominant species (79.2%), followed by A. hydrophila (7.5%), A. caviae (5.7%), A. jandaei...

Bacterial samples had been isolated from clinically detected diseased juvenile Pangasius, collected from Mymensingh, Bangladesh. Primarily, the isolates were found as Gram-negative, motile, oxidase-positive, fermentative, and O/129 resistant Aeromonas bacteria. The species was exposed as Aeromonas hydrophila from esculin hydrolysis test. Ten isolates of A. hydrophila were identified from eye le...

Aeromonas hydrophila is an opportunistic pathogen and the leading cause of fatal hemorrhagic septicemia in rainbow trout. A gene encoding an elastolytic activity, ahyB, was cloned from Aeromonas hydrophila AG2 into pUC18 and expressed in Escherichia coli and in the nonproteolytic species Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. masoucida. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the ahyB gene revealed an open readi...

(a) Project Summary Fishery has been recognized as a powerful income and employment generation source as it stimulates growth of a number of subsidiary industries and is a source of cheap animal protein. Fish diseases, however, are one of the major limiting factors in aquaculture production, especially with the recent increase of aquaculture practices in rural areas. Rural small-scale aquacultu...
