The genus Aeromonas has been described as comprising several species associated with the aquatic environment, which represents their principal reservoir. Aeromonas spp. are commonly isolated from diseased and healthy fish, but the involvement of such bacteria in human infection and gastroenteritis has frequently been reported. The primary challenge in establishing an unequivocal link between th...

AIMS To determine the prevalence of Aeromonas spp in the faeces of children and the association with symptoms of gastroenteritis. METHODS Faecal specimens (n = 1026) were cultured for Aeromonas spp using three selective media and an enrichment broth at both 30 degrees C and 37 degrees C. The isolation of Aeromonas spp was correlated with symptoms of gastroenteritis, previous antibiotic use, a...

background:  aeromonas spp. can cause diarrhea and various infections in humans. access to rapid techniques with a high sensitivity and specificity is strongly needed for the identification of aeromonas species. the aim of this study was to evaluate two different methods including api 20e bacterial identification tests and the molecular detection using pcr primers specific for 16s-rrna and 23s-...

The role of Aeromonas spp. in a variety of human illnesses has been well documented during the last decades. The spectrum of infectious diseases caused by Aeromonas species includes gastrointestinal and extraintestinal infections. Aeromonas gastrointestinal infections are generally self-limiting and antibiotic therapy is unnecessary. However, for gastrointestinal infections in immunocompromised...

The members of the Aeromonas genus are ubiquitous, water-borne bacteria. They have been isolated from marine waters, rivers, lakes, swamps, sediments, chlorine water, water distribution systems, drinking water and residual waters; different types of food, such as meat, fish, seafood, vegetables, and processed foods. Aeromonas strains are predominantly pathogenic to poikilothermic animals, and t...

Aeromonas hydrophila is a well-known waterborne pathogen that recently was found to infect humans. Here, we report the draft genome of a freshwater isolate from a Malaysian waterfall, A. hydrophila strain M023, which portrays N-acylhomoserine lactone-dependent quorum sensing.

Aeromonas spp infections are probably the most common bacterial disease diagnosed in cultured warm water fish. In the present study, six strains of Aeromonas spp bacteria were isolated from the gourami (Colisa lalia) by 16S rDNA sequencing analyses that are pathogenic to freshwater fish. Among them, three were under Aeromonas veronii species, two were Aeromonas sp ATCC and one was Aeromonas hyd...

Aeromonas hydrophila has emerged worldwide as a human pathogen. Here, we report the draft whole-genome sequence of a freshwater isolate from Malaysia, A. hydrophila strain M062, and its N-acylhomoserine lactone genes are also reported here.

Here, we present the draft genome sequence of Aeromonas caviae strain L12, which shows quorum-sensing activity. The availability of this genome sequence is important to the research of the quorum-sensing regulatory system in this isolate.
