Aeromonas caviae is an emerging human pathogen. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Aeromonas caviae strain 429865 INP which shows the presence of various putative virulence-related genes.

Aeromonas hydrophila is one of the most important fish pathogens in China. Here, we report complete genome sequence of a virulent strain, A. hydrophila JBN2301, which was isolated from diseased crucian carp.

aeromonas hydrophila secretes several extracellular proteins including enterotoxin, hemolysin and aerolysin that are associated with the bacterial virulence. previous studies have shown that two hemolytic toxins, hemolysin a and aerolysin a contribute to the virulence of aeromonas hydrophila. in the current study, a total of 50 strains of aeromonas hydrophila, including 28 (56%) strains isolate...

Ten strains of Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from water samples were characterized by various methods including biochemical and physiological tests, as well as PCR-RFLP analysis with Universal 16s rRNA primers. Biochemical characterization and PCR-RFLP analysis proved to be useful, rapid and reliable method for identifying widely distributed Aeromonas spp. from environmental samples. The signif...

Aeromonas spp., opportunistic pathogens of humans and fish, are ubiquitous in the aquatic environment. Aeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas caviae have increasingly been isolated from patients with gastroenteritis and superficial wound infections and the former also has been associated with hemorrhagic septicemia in fish. This is the first study to report Aeromonas occurrence and frequency of vir...

The genus Aeromonas is ubiquitous in aquatic environments encompassing a broad range of fish and human pathogens. Aeromonas strains are known for their enhanced capacity to acquire and exchange antibiotic resistance genes and therefore, are frequently targeted as indicator bacteria for monitoring antimicrobial resistance in aquatic environments. This study evaluated temporal trends in Aeromonas...

Aeromonas is ubiquitous in aquatic environments and has been associated with a number of extra-gastrointestinal and gastrointestinal illnesses. This warrants monitoring of raw and processed water sources for pathogenic and toxigenic species of this human pathogen. In this study, a total of 17 different water samples [9 raw and 8 treated samples including 4 basin water (partial sand filtration) ...

Transposon and marker exchange mutagenesis were used to evaluate the role of Aeromonas cytotoxic enterotoxin (Act) in the pathogenesis of diarrheal diseases and deep wound infections. The transposon mutants were generated by random insertion of Tn5-751 in the chromosomal DNA of a diarrheal isolate SSU of Aeromonas hydrophila. Some of the transposon mutants had dramatically reduced hemolytic and...

BACKGROUND Aeromonas species are common inhabitants of aquatic environments giving rise to infections in both fish and humans. Identification of aeromonads to the species level is problematic and complex due to their phenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Aeromonas hydrophila or Aeromonas sp were genetically re-identified using a combination of previously publi...
