| ultrastruct of red-sore lesions on largemouth bass (micropterus salmoides): associattion of the ciliate epistylis sp. and the bacterium aeromonas hydrophila. | epizootic outbreaks of red-sore disease in several reservoirs in the southeastern united states have been reported to cause heavy mortality among several species of fish having sport and commercial value. the etiologic agent is said to be the peritrich ciliate epistylis sp.; secondary infection by the gram-negative bacterium aeromonas hydrophila produces hemorrhagic septicemia which results in death. however, in recent studies on the largemouth bass micropterus salmoides, epistylis sp. could be ... | 1978 | 102785 |
| diseases of chelonians: (1) necropsy survey of tortoises. | the results of necropsies of 144 tortoises of 17 species that died in captivity are presented. intestinal and nutritional disorders (27.0 and 22.2 per cent respectively) were the most common causes of death. nematode infestations were found in 43.8 per cent, but with exception of a few species the parasites were seldom pathogenic. infestations with other helminths appear to be very unusual. protozoan infections were relatively common (at least 22.9 per cent) but protozoa are probably seldom path ... | 1978 | 105454 |
| bacterial 2,3-butanediol dehydrogenases. | enterobacter aerogenes, aeromonas hydrophila, serratia marcescens and staphylococcus aureus possessing l(+)-butanediol dehydrogenase produced mainly meso-butanediol and small amounts of optically active butanediol; acetobacter suboxydans, bacillus polymyxa and erwinia carotovora containing d(-)-butanediol dehydrogenase produced more optically active butanediol than meso-butanediol. resting and growing cells of these organisms oxidezed only one enantiomer of racemic butanediol. the d(-)-butanedio ... | 1978 | 25056 |
| studies of relationship among terrestrial pseudomonas, alcaligenes, and enterobacteria by an immunological comparison of glutamine synthetase. | antibody to purified glutamine synthetase from escherichia coli was prepared and used for an immunological comparison of glutamine synthetases from species of salmonella, citrobacter, enterobacter, serratia, proteus, erwinia, aeromonas, pseudomonas, acinetobacter, xanthomonas, alcaligenes, and paracoccus. the results of ouchterlony double diffusion experiments and quantitative microcomplement fixation studies indicated that the amino acid sequence of this enzyme was highly conserved in different ... | 1978 | 31146 |
| prevalence and distribution of aeromonas hydrophila in the united states. | the abundance of aeromonas hydrophila was measured in 147 natural aquatic habitats in 30 states and puerto rico. viable cell counts were used to estimate density at all sites by using rimler-shotts medium, a differential presumptive medium for a. hydrophila. temperature, ph, conductivity, salinity, and turbidity were measured simultaneously with water sample collection. the density of a. hydrophila was higher in lotic than in lentic systems. saline systems had higher densities of a. hydrophila t ... | 1978 | 31839 |
| precipitate produced by serratia marcescens on macconkey agar: useful diagnostic test. | the production of a precipitate by serratia marcescens on oxoid macconkey agar has proven useful as a laboratory diagnostic test. this phenomenon is specific for serratia within the enterobacteriaceae, although precipitate production is also given by acinetobacter anitratus and some pseudomonas, alcaligenes, and aeromonas species. precipitate production seems to be specific for certain batches of macconkey agar, and is probably related to a specific property of some batches of bile salts. | 1978 | 32188 |
| enterotoxicity of aeromonas hydrophila: skin responses and in vivo neutralisation. | culture filtrates and partially purified enterotoxins of 6 strains of aeromonas hydrophila isolated from faeces of diarrhoeic and healthy persons, drinking water, sewage and faeces of domestic animals caused induration and increased capillary permeability in skin of adult albino rabbits. the activities were less in crude enterotoxins indicating partial loss during purification. heat treatment for 30 min at 60 degrees c and 56 degrees c inactivated the induration and permeability effects of cultu ... | 1978 | 34953 |
| snake-to-human transmission of aeromonas (pl) shigelloides resulting in gastroenteritis. | a healthy young man developed acute gastroenteritis after handling an infected bao constrictor. the animal died after contracting "mouth-rot disease", a progressive ulcerative stomatitis of snakes charactistically caused a aeromonas species. stool cultures from the patient yielded a heavy growth of aeromonas (plesiomonas) shigelloides but no other enteric pathogens. treatment wit sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim resulted in rapid relief of clinical symptoms. aeromonas species are not considered par ... | 1978 | 635632 |
| effects of fever on host defense mechanisms after infection in the lizard dipsosaurus dorsalis. | fever has never been proven beneficial in mammals, although it enhances survival in the lizard d. dorsalis infected with aeromonas hydrophila. we examined the course of the infection and the function of host defence in febrile (41 degrees) and afebrile (35 degrees or 38 degrees) animals using this model. infected, febrile lizards had sterile blood cultures, and 1-2 logs fewer bacteria in body tissues 6-12 h after infection. granulocytes appeared early and in large numbers at the site of inoculat ... | 1978 | 638032 |
| carbenicillin plus cefamandole in the treatment of infections in patients with cancer. | the combination of carbenicillin plus cefamandole was administered to 88 patients with cancer during 116 evaluable episodes of fever. the overall response rate to carbenicillin plus cefamandole for the 116 episodes was 57%. there were 60 documented infections, of which 60% responded to this combination of antibiotics. the response rate was only 43% in patients with pneumonia. the etiologic agent was identified during 38 infections, of which 74% responded to carbenicillin plus cefamandole. respon ... | 1978 | 649998 |
| a bacterial disease of the darwin's frog (rhinoderma darwini). | ulceration and necrosis of the rostrum in darwin's frogs was investigated microbiologically and histopathologically. the condition was attributed to infection with aeromonas liquefaciens and, possibly, an acinetobacter sp. | 1978 | 672182 |
| presence of glycerophospholipid: cholesterol acyltransferase and phospholipase in culture supernatant of aeromonas hydrophila. | human erythrocyte membrane glycerophospholipids are deacylated by aeromonas hydrophila 13-h culture supernatants, resulting in the production of cholesterol ester, free fatty acid, and water-soluble phosphates. this activity appears to be due to the actions of an acyltransferase (phosphatide:cholesterol acyltransferase, ec 2.3.1 group) and a phospholipase (phosphatide acyl-hydrolase). the enzyme activities are produced simultaneously in late exponential/early stationary phase, are precipitated t ... | 1978 | 681278 |
| cytotoxic activity of aeromonas hydrophila. | most strains of aeromonas hydrophila tested demonstrated cytotoxic activity on several tissue-cultured cell lines. the cytotoxin is heat-labile, non-dialyzable, and immunologically distinct from that of shigella dysenteriae and clostridium perfringens. none of the aeromonas isolates was found to be enterotoxigenic by either tissue culture or rabbit ileal loop assays. | 1978 | 711344 |
| neuraminidase activity of nag vibrios and of some representatives of the intestinal group of bacteria. | it was studied 203 strains of nag vibrios and 71 strains of different enterobacteria for the ability to produce neuraminidase. the most frequent neuraminidase producers were found among the strains isolated from humans (99 strain of 131). there was no correlation between neuraminidase production and other properties of the vibrios. the examined strains of the family enterobacteriaceae did not produce the enzyme. | 1978 | 744553 |
| effect of arginine analogues on a fish pathogen, aeromonas salmonicida. | the effects of arginine analogues on a fish pathogen, aeromonas salmonicida, were investigated. this organism proved to be resistant in various degrees to most arginine analogues tested but was found to be sensitive to arginine hydroxamate. inhibition of growth by arginine hydroxamate was reversed by the addition of arginine to the bacterial culture. incorporation of 14c from 14c-amino acids, namely, guanidoarginine, glutamate, asparate, alanine, isoleucine, serine, methyl-methionine, and cystin ... | 1978 | 756951 |

| isolation of enterotoxigenic aeromonas from fish. | this paper reports two different enterotoxigenic classes of the genus aeromonas isolated from fishes. strains of a. sobria were isolated from healthy fishes only wheras strains of a. hydrophila were isolated from both healthy and moribund fishes. aeromonas sobria and hydrophilia strains produced a cytotoxic factor and were highly proteolytic. seventy-five percent (75%) of the a. sobria strains produced only one type of hemolysis on 5% blood agar, but 92% of the a. hydrophilia produced two types ... | 1977 | 71190 |
| cholera-like diarrhea in canada. report of a case associated with enterotoxigenic escherichia coli and a toxin-producing aeromonas hydrophila. | a 67-year-old indian patient was admitted with an acute cholera-like illness. toxigenic escherichia coli producing both heat-stable and heat-labile enterotoxins grew from cultures of feces. in addition, an aeromonas hydrophila producing a cytotoxic toxin was also isolated from this patient's feces. the unusual severity of this patient's illness may have resulted from coinfection with these two toxigenic organisms, although any role of the toxin produced by a hydrophila is speculative. | 1977 | 335999 |
| microbial aggregate contamination of water lines in dental equipment and its control. | water from some dental clinics has been examined and found to be discoloured, badly tasting and with a foul odour. moreover, brown or black flakes were often present in tap water, as well as in the water lines of dental equipment. examination by phase-contrast and electron microscope showed the flakes to consist of aggregated fungi and bacteria, and similar structures were found in a layer on the inner surfaces of the clinics water tubes and pipes. the ultrastructure of some aggregating microorg ... | 1977 | 329637 |
| test reproducibility of the api (20e), enterotube, and pathotec systems. | thirty-three strains of bacteria (30 enterobacteriaceae and one strain each of aeromonas formicans, a. hydrophila, and plesiomonas shigelloides) were tested three times in each of 27 conventional tests and in the api, enterotube, and pathotec systems. the results obtained were analysed for test reproducibility within each kit, correlation of the kit tests with the equivalent conventional media, and the identification of the strains by the kits. difficulties in evaluation and comparison of identi ... | 1977 | 323296 |
| the effect of oxidase positive bacteria on total coliform density estimates. | the most probable number method for enumerating coliforms was shown to give a false estimate of the coliform density. the inflated estimates were due to lactose positive, non-coliform bacteria whose presence was detected by an oxidase test. thirty-six percent of all the samples examined contained oxidase positive bacteria that were able to produce gas from lactose. their presence resulted in coliform density overestimates which ranged from 2 to 33 times the true value. the frequency of occurrenc ... | 1977 | 323198 |

| [the detection of aeromonads of the "hydrophila-punctata-group" within the hygienic control of drinking water (author's transl)]. | the first part brings a retrospective analysis of bacteriological water examinations at single wells at which within a new one year examination period e. coli, coliforms and colony count determinations were performed and in addition the water samples were examined regarding aeromonas of the "hydrophila-punctata-group". the single wells have been divided in five groups because of the pre-testing and reexamination results and because of the local circumstances. they are summarized in the tables 1- ... | 1976 | 788410 |
| the bactericidal action of benzoic acid and sodium acetate on the gram-negative flora of dialysis fluid. | benzoic acid in concentrations from 0.18 per cent and upwards exerted a bactericidal action on the gram-negative flora of dialysis fluid at ph 4.75 in vitro. at a concentration of 0.32 per cent, a reduction of 10(5) was obtained with 24 hours. sulphonamide resistance did not affect the bactericidal action. the killing effect was hardly more than directly proportional to the concentration of benzoic acid. increasing inoculum decreased the bactericidal effect. therefore, benbzoic acid should not b ... | 1976 | 788461 |
| starvation effects on escherichia coli and aquatic bacterial responses to nutrient addition and secondary warming stresses. | a gram-negative polar flagellated rod, isolated from a colorado mountain stream and considered to be an aeromonas sp., a mixed aquatic microbial population, and a culture of escherichia coli were starved to determine their responses to the short-term presence of nutrients and mild warming stress (49.5 c for 2 min) in relation to starvation time. at the beginning of the starvation period, the aeromonas isolate was extremely sensitive to the secondary warming stress. this response was markedly dim ... | 1976 | 793521 |
| localization of selenium in bacterial cells using tem and energy dispersive x-ray analysis. | bacteria isolated from lake sediment samples reduced sodium selenite to elemental selenium. finestructural observations were made on a number of different bacterial species cultured in the presence of sodium selenite. examination of escherichia coli and a pseudomonas species revealed electron-dense deposits of irregular shape, composed of smaller units, within the cytoplasm but not on the cell wall and cell membrane. cells of aeromonas and flavobacterium species exhibited conspicuous intranuclea ... | 1976 | 175749 |
| esterase activity of zinc neutral proteases. | the hydrolysis of a series of depsipeptides demonstrates that the zinc neutral endopeptidases of bacteria are active esterases. esters such as bzgly-ophe-ala, bzgly-oleu-ala, and fa-gly-oleu-nh2 are hydrolyzed at rates three- to eightfold slower than are their exact peptide analogues, when hydrolyzed by thermolysin, bacillus subtilis neutral protease and the neutral protease from aeromonas proteolytica. ester hydrolysis by zinc neutral proteases follows the characteristic preference for hydropho ... | 1976 | 2276 |
| comparative study of the proteinograms of vibrios and of closely related microorganisms by means of polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis. | proteinograms of 112 strains of vibrios and closely affiliated microorganisms were studied by disc electrophoresis in polyacrylamide gel. up to 25 protein peaks with definite mobility coefficients were revealed. the influence of the culture medium on the protein spectrum of the microbes was found. the frequency of peak formation was of great significance for the differentiation of the microbes under study. the quantitative characteristics of the peak area could not be used for differentiation. | 1976 | 7908 |
| meningitis due to aeromonas hydrophila. | a case of meningitis caused by aeromonas hydrophila is reported. the infection complicated an otherwise successful frontotemporal craniotomy. survey of the literature revealed that human infections due to this organism are relatively uncommon, and its causal relationship in meningitis has not been previously reported. a. hydrophila is known to cause bacteremia in patients under treatment with immunosuppresive agents. we report meningitis with bacteremia, caused by this organism, in an immunologi ... | 1976 | 1254706 |
| blood changes in brook trout induced by infection with aeromonas salmonicida. | furunculosis was induced in brook trout, salvelinus fontinalis, by experimental inoculation with aeromonas salmonicida. total protein, hemoglobin, sialic acid, fatty acids, triglycerides, cholesterol, inorganic-phosphorus, acid-soluble phosphorus, and lipid-phosphorus decreased in the blood of the infected fish while amino acids, urea, total creatinine, ammonia, and glucose increased. pyruvic acid, lactic acid, and ascorbic acid values showed no significant change. | 1976 | 1255917 |
| a septicaemic disease of east african snakes associated with enterobacteriaceae. | a bacterial epizootic disease of snakes at a snake farm in kenya is described. the condition shows characteristic clinical signs and post mortem lesions and is characterized by a bacteraemia and septicaemia. the mortality rate is high and newly captured snakes die within a few weeks. attempted control of the disease is discussed briefly and attention is drawn to the significance of such a condition in a commercial enterprise. | 1976 | 1265824 |

| necrosis and bacterial infection in channel catfish (ictalurus punctatus) following hypoxia. | apparently sterile lesions developed in the skin and musculature of channel catfish (ictalurus punctatus) six days after fish were severely stressed by an oxygen depletion associated with a phytoplankton die-off in an 8.9 ha pond. lesions were characterized by hemorrhage and necrosis. aeromonas hydrophila was isolated from either the lesions ot internal organs of all moribund fish necropsied the day after lesions were first found. as the water quality improved the health of the fish improved. wa ... | 1976 | 933317 |
| interaction of pseudomonas and enterobacteriaceae plasmids in aeromonas salmonicida. | we observed that aeromonas salmonicida aro200 will maintain either or both the pseudomonas r-factor, pmg1, and enterobacteriaceae r-factors. this bacterial strain, therefore, provides a unique background wherein the host ranges of pseudomonas and enterobacteriaceae plasmods overlap. co-maintenance of these plasmids resulted in behavior of plasmid aggregates that allowed transfer of r-dterminants beyond the host range of the parent plasmid. we observed that the aro200 genetic background facilitat ... | 1976 | 824271 |
| reductive microbial conversion of anthracycline antibiotics. | reductive conversion of several anthracycline glycosides to their 7-deoxyaglycones occurs during their microaerophilic incubation with strains of aeromonas hydrophila, citrobacter freundii, and escherichia coli. further, extracts of microaerophilically grown a. hydrophilia catalyze dpnh-dependent reductive conversion of the same compounds. anthracycline substrates cleaved by both whole cells and by the cell-free system include steffimycin, steffimycin b, nogalamycin, cinerubin a, and daunomycin. ... | 1976 | 786368 |

| [antigenic structure of non-agglutinating vibrios and bacteria of the genus aeromonas]. | the authors carried out a comparative study of the antigenic structure of nonagglutinating vibrios and the respresentatives of aeromonas genus. a number of common antigens (some of which were of protein origin) were revealed in the so-called enterotoxins of nonaggultinating vibrios and aeromonas and also in the cytoplasm and ribosomes of these strains. "enterotoxin" of aeromona s strain contained the factor of vascular permeability. the serum to "enterotoxin" of the aeromonas strain neutralized ... | 1976 | 961271 |
| effect of aeromonas salmonicida (furunculosis) infection on the incorporation of [1-14c]acetate into lipids of trout liver. | [1-(14)c]acetate is incorporated into lipids more rapidly by liver from aeromonas salmonicida-infected trout than by normal trout liver, both in vitro and in vivo. the increase was, in general, about twofold to less than threefold. | 1976 | 965100 |
| enterotoxin-producing bacteria and parasites in stools of ethiopian children with diarrhoeal disease. | enterotoxinogenic bacteria were isolated from 131 (37%) of 354 ethiopian infants and children with acute gastrointestinal symptoms. only one of these isolates belonged to the classical enteropathogenic serotypes of esch. coli. two colonies from each patient were isolated and tested for production of enterotoxin by the rabbit ileal loop test, the rabbit skin test, and an adrenal cell assay. however, only 38% of the isolated enterotoxinogenic strains were esch. coli; the others belonged to klebsie ... | 1976 | 1008593 |
| nalidixic acid as a selective agent for the isolation of enterobacteria from river water. | enterobacteria are more resistant to nalidixic acid than the majority of other gram-negative organisms isolated from river water, so allowing their selection on macconkey agar containing nalidixic aicd. selection is further improved by anaerobic incubation which, with nalidixic acid, virtually eliminates oxidase-postivie strains such as pseudomonas or aeromonas. | 1976 | 1068190 |
