Association of Aeromonas sobria with human infection.

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
O P DailyC R Lissner

Abstract

Fifteen Aeromonas isolates from various human infections and nine isolates from polluted water were identified as either Aeromonas hydrophila or Aeromonas sobria and examined for cytotoxigenicity, enterotoxigenicity, adherence to epithelial cells, and other virulence-associated factors, including proteases, lipases, elastases, and hemolysins. Two groups of organisms (I and II) were distinguishable based on differences in median lethal doses in mice and cytotoxicity for Y-1 adrenal cells. Group I clinical and environmental strains had median lethal doses of less than 10(7) colony-forming units, were cytotoxic, frequently possessed several virulence-associated factors, and had lysine decarboxylase-positive or Voges-Proskauer-positive phenotypes or both. Piliation of Aeromonas was associated strongly with ability to adhere to human buccal cells, and these characteristics were associated with group I strains. Group II clinical and environmental strains had median lethal doses of greater than or equal to 10(7) colony-forming units, were not cytotoxic, and usually were lysine decarboxylase negative or Voges-Proskauer negative or both. Clinical strains in group II exhibited enterotoxigenicity, which was not detected in group II enviro...Continue Reading

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Antimicrobial Resistance (ASM)

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.
