Motile and mesophilic Aeromonas strains can presumptively be differentiated into species in 18 to 24 h by testing the isolates for the production of a CAMP-like factor. Aeromonas hydrophila strains were positive either aerobically or anaerobically, Aeromonas sobria strains were positive only aerobically, and Aeromonas caviae strains were always negative.

Aeromonas hydrophila inhabits freshwater and soil and is mainly pathogenic to cold-blooded animals. It is known to cause red leg disease in frogs, septicemia and stomatitis in snakes and infections in freshwater fish. 1 Human infections due to members of the genus Aeromonas are considered rare and mainly occur in immune compromised individuals or patients who are suffering from chronic disease....

Aeromonas was classified previously with Vibrio species and Pleisomonas shigelloides in the Vibrionaceae [1]. Based on molecular genetic evidence, Aeromonas species is assigned separate family, Aeromonadaceae[1,2] . The genus aeromonas had been divided into 2 typesmesophilic which are potent human pathogens and psychrophilic consisting of non motile Aeromonas salmonicida [3]. Aeromonas verionii...

Aeromonas hydrophila is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped, mesophilic bacterium that infects both aquatic poikilothermic animals and mammals, including humans. Here, we present the complete genome sequence of Aeromonas hydrophila strain ML09-119, which represents a clonal group of A. hydrophila isolates causing outbreaks of bacterial septicemia in channel catfish since 2009.

Aeromonas hydrophila occurs in freshwater environments and infects fish and mammals. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of Aeromonas hydrophila AL06-06, which was isolated from diseased goldfish and is being used for comparative genomic studies with A. hydrophila strains that cause bacterial septicemia in channel catfish aquaculture.

Background: Test of pahogenecity of fish pathogens usually done by injection or ingestion of the bacterial samples on the fish. Objective of the current research was to introduce a new method of testing pathogenecity of fish pathogens through an artificial infection system. The targeted method was to observe the pathogenecity in aquarium condition by direct infection of the system water with ba...
