The phenotypic characteristics of 89 Aeromonas strains, most of which had been isolated from feces, were examined. Eighty-two percent of the isolates could be placed into one of four groups on the basis of five tests. The relationship of these groups to the three motile species of Aeromonas (Aeromonas caviae, A. hydrophila, and A. sobria) that have been isolated from humans is unclear. Because ...

A highly virulent clonal population of Aeromonas hydrophila (vAh) has been the cause of recent motile Aeromonas septicemia epizootic in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) farms in the Southeastern United States. The pathology of the disease caused by vAh has not been studied well yet. Thus, our aim was to determine histopathological and ultrastructural changes in channel catfish following vA...

Aeromonas caviae strains have been isolated from blood and stool cultures of three immunocompetent patients, residents of Northern India, who presented with community acquired septicemia without any recent history of diarrhea. Cell culture infectivity test performed on Hep-2 cells have shown substantial degree of invasiveness in the isolated strains. This case unleashes a possibility of asympto...

A Gram-negative bacillus isolated from the blood of a leukaemic patient with septicaemia was identified on the basis of common tests as Escherichia coli. However, the organism's antibiogram was atypical of E. coli and led to its re-examination and correct identification as Aeromonas hydrophila. A. hydrophila is sensitive to chloramphenicol and tetracycline, characteristics useful in differentia...

Fifty-four motile Aeromonas strains, composing the three currently recognizable species, were tested for susceptibility to cephalothin by broth dilution and disk agar diffusion assays. Cephalothin susceptibility was significantly associated with Aeromonas sobria (P less than 0.001) and may be an additional phenotypic marker useful in the identification of this species.
