Aeromonas hydrophila is a Gram-negative bacterium that is pathogenic in fish, causing motile aeromonad septicaemia. It can enter (invade) fish cells, and survive as an intracellular parasite. The host-pathogen interaction and signal transduction pathway were studied by screening signal transduction inhibitors using carp epithelial cells and a virulent strain of the bacterium, PPD134/91. Geniste...

Petroleum hydrocarbon contamination is a major global prevalent issue in the petroleum sector. This research focuses on evaluating biodegradation of three Gram-negative bacilli, isolated from cowpea planted soil, contaminated with kerosene. The Gram negative bacilli strains have been characterized and identified, using MicrobactTM ID24E systems for the identification of Enterobacteriaceae and c...

Brazilian fish farming goes together with the emergence of numerous bacterial diseases, Aeromonas hydrophila being main pathogen. As a consequence, antimicrobials are excessively used. Considering that relatively stable and nonbiodegradable, medicinal plants their phytochemicals have been used as alternative treatments bacteriosis in farming. Limonene is monoterpene available two enantiomers: R...

AIM This study was revealed the potential of Peperomia pellucida leaf extract as an immunostimulator agent in controlling motile aeromonad septicemia due to Aeromonas hydrophila in red hybrid tilapia, Oreochromis sp. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present study, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of P. pellucida leaf extract against A. hydrophila was determined through two-fold microbroth d...

BACKGROUND Aeromonas hydrophila cause one of the most important diseases in fishes and lead to economic losses, and may be contaminated human beings. OBJECTIVES The current research aimed to investigate the anti-bacterial activity shown by the extracts prepared from different parts of Olea europea, Myrtus communis, Thymus vulgaris, Rosmarinuis officinalis, and Achillea falcata that grow in Sy...

BACKGROUND Advances in Aeromonas taxonomy have led to the reclassification of aeromonads. Hereon, we aimed to re-evaluate the characteristics of Aeromonas bacteremia, including those of a novel species, Aeromonas dhakensis. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A retrospective study of monomicrobial Aeromonas bacteremia at a medical center in southern Taiwan from 2004-2011 was conducted. Species ide...

Enterobacter asburiae and Aeromonas hydrophila are gram-negative bacilli that have been isolated in soil and water. Enterobacter asburiae can cause an array of diseases, and exposure to A hydrophila can cause soft tissue infections, including necrotizing faciitis.A healthy-appearing 22-year-old man presented with an innocuous soft tissue injury to his leg due to an all-terrain vehicle crash. He...

This study demonstrates the possibility of using sanitizing detergents based on natural products for the elimination and/or reduction of Aeromonas hydrophila biofilm formed on stainless steel surfaces. The goal of this work was to determine the reduction effect of sanitizing detergents containing essential oils of Thymus vulgaris (thyme) and Cymbopogon citratus (lemongrass) on biofilm formed by...

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 ...

Aeromonas hydrophila soft-tissue infection has been associated with fish and reptile bites. There have bee three recent cases from Brazil of abscesses complicating snake bites in which A. hydrophila was isolated from the purulent exudates. One of the snakes responsible for the bites was a specimen of Bothrops moojeni, and the others were most probably also lance-headed vipers. These snakes have...
