The occurrence of Aeromonas spp. in the Porsuk River, public drinking water and tap water in the City of Eskisehir (Turkey) was monitored. Fresh water samples were collected from several sampling sites during a period of one year. Total 102 typical colonies of Aeromonas spp. were submitted to biochemical tests for species differentiation and of 60 isolates were confirmed by biochemical tests. F...

Aeromonas infections are the most common bacterial disease of cultured fish in China. In this study, a gram-negative bacillus was isolated from the liver of diseased koi carp (Cyprinus carpio koi), and named strain KC-2. The results of morphological and biochemical tests, as well as phylogenetic analysis derived from 16S rRNA and gyrB sequences indicated that the isolated strain KC-2 was highly...

The efficacy of eight routine enteric agars for supporting the growth of 32 strains of Aeromonas spp. (17 A. hydrophila strains, 8 A. sobria strains, and 7 A. caviae strains) was investigated. The plating efficiency of Aeromonas spp. on these media varied greatly (range, 0 to 100%), as did their colony size when compared with that on noninhibitory medium (5% sheep blood agar). Plating efficienc...

Previous DNA hybridization studies established 12 Aeromonas genospecies, from which nine phenotypic species have been proposed: Aeromonas hydrophila, A. sobria, A. caviae, A. media, A. veronii, A. schubertii, A. salmonicida, A. eucrenophila, and A. jandaei. We have delineated a new Aeromonas genospecies, A. trota, on the basis of 13 strains isolated primarily from fecal specimens from southern ...

Aeromonas media is an opportunistic pathogen for human and animals mainly found in aquatic habitats and which has been noted for significant genomic and phenotypic heterogeneities. We aimed to better understand the population structure and diversity of strains currently affiliated to A. media and the related species A. rivipollensis. Forty-one strains were included in a population study integra...

A total of 71 Aeromonas strains were isolated in the south of Jiangsu Province China in order to analyze the difference ofAeromonas spp. distribution between diseased fish and water environment. The sequence of 16S rDNA and gyrB demonstrated that the 71 Aeromonas isolates could be divided into 4 species, including A. veronii (55), A. hydrophila (11), A. salmonicida (3) and A. media (2). A. vero...

A total of 103 strains of Aeromonas spp. isolated from clinical and from environmental samples was compared by using SDS-PAGE of periplasmic proteins patterns. Strains isolated from Polish children suffering from gastroenteritis did not appear similar to strains isolated from human living in Hong-Kong. Aeromonas sp. strains did not show a tendency to cluster according to their origin. Our resul...

samples from the kidney of 100 diseased fish with signs of haemorrhagic septicemia and 50 samples from outlet water of fish farms were taken aseptically and cultured. in the laboratory, 75 colonies of gram-negative bacteria were biochemically diagnosed as motile aeromonads in our bacteriology laboratory unit using api 20e rapid identification system. the genotype identification using specific p...

The present study is based on the in vitro production of callus, its long period maintenance and antibacterial potentiality. Callus induction and formation occurred by full strength MS media in combination with various concentration (0.5mg/l, 1.0mg/l, 1.5mg/l, 2.0mg/l) of 2, 4-D effective in combination with constant concentration of BA (2.5mg/l) and NAA (0.5mg/ml). The leaf calli were sub cult...
