According to Bergey’s Manual of Systematic Bacteriology [48], the genus Aeromonas includes the following species: Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas bestiarum, Aeromonas salmonicida, Aeromonas caviae, Aeromonas media, Aeromonas eucrenophila, Aeromonas sobria, Aeromonas veronii (biovars sobria and veronii), Aeromonas jandaei, Aeromonas schubertii, Aeromonas trota, Aeromonas allosaccharophila, Aerom...

INTRODUCTION The number of reports of intestinal infections caused by Aeromonas spp. has increased significantly in recent years. In most clinical laboratories, identification of these bacteria is carried out by general phenotypic tests that sometimes do not accurately differentiate Aeromonas and Vibrio. METHODS A duplex-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was developed directed to 2 targets iden...

A total of 49 Aeromonas isolates obtained from food animals and immunocompromised human cancer patients from Nagpur, were investigated for antibiotic sensitivity pattern by disc diffusion method. Aeromonas spp. exhibited different level of antibiotic sensitivity based on the zone of inhibition observed around the antibiotic disc. Most of the isolates exhibited highest sensitivity towards ceftaz...

AIM This study was conducted to evaluate the presence of Aeromonas spp. in raw and ready-to-eat (RTE) fish commonly consumed in Assiut city, Egypt, and to determine virulence factors due to they play a key role in their pathogenicity. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 125 samples of raw and RTE fish samples were taken from different fish markets and fish restaurants in Assiut Governorate and s...

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-...

Mesophilic aeromonads are being increasingly reported pathogen of humans and lower vertebrates. Water and foods are considered to be the chief source of Aeromonas spp. At present there are several techniques available for the detection of Aeromonas spp. from water and foods. However, there is still need to develop immunodiagnostics for rapid detection of Aeromonas spp. irrespective of their spe...

INTRODUCTION Aeromonas spp. are Gram-negative bacteria classically associated with water sources and a variety of clinical infections in humans. CASE PRESENTATION A 79-year-old female patient presented with gastroenteritis with associated Aeromonas spp. bloodstream infection. Two days after admission she developed eye symptoms and was diagnosed with endophthalmitis and underwent emergency evi...

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...

A previously described molecular method, based on 16S rDNA RFLP analysis, for the identification of Aeromonas spp. was unable to separate the species Aeromonas salmonicida, Aeromonas bestiarum and the recently described Aeromonas popoffii. In this study, the method has been extended with endonucleases AIwNI and PstI for the identification of these species. A molecular frame for the identificati...

The detection of Virulence factors of Aeromonas spp. is a key component in determining potential pathogenicity because these factors act Multifuntionally and Multifactorially. In this study, totally 50 carp fish samples were collected, Among these, 8 samples were found to be positive for Aeromonas hydrophila and 13 were found to be positive for Aeromonas salmonicida. Antibiotic resistant patter...
