| capsulated cells of aeromonas salmonicida grown in vitro have different functional properties than capsulated cells grown in vivo. | when grown in vivo in the peritoneal cavity of rainbow trout, aeromonas salmonicida produces a clearly defined capsule with virulence-related functions. aeromonas salmonicida grown in vitro in a glucose-rich medium (grm) has also been reported to reproduce capsular material. because in vitro mimicry of in vivo induced traits is highly desirable in vaccine design, the extent to which growth in grm mimicked in vivo growth was examined. antibodies specific to in vivo grown cells partially labeled t ... | 1995 | 8590408 |
| aeromonas encheleia sp. nov., isolated from european eels. | four strains isolated from european eels in valencia, spain, were found to constitute a dna relatedness group which is 0 to 50% related to the 13 species and dna group 11 of the genus aeromonas. phenotypically, these strains have all of the properties that define the genus aeromonas. however, they differ from the previously described aeromonas species by three or more properties. the strains are positive for motility, growth at 37 degrees c, indole production, and arginine dihydrolase activity. ... | 1995 | 8590673 |
| aeromonas hydrophila--its implications in freshwater injuries. | lacerations or puncture wounds sustained in freshwater environments are susceptible to contamination by aeromonas hydrophila. numerous cases have been reported of cellulitis secondary to water-related injuries requiring hospitalization where a. hydrophila was the isolated organism. the typical presentation of an infection of a. hydrophila mimics a streptococcal soft tissue infection, which may result in delay in administration of appropriate antibiotics. a case is presented of a nonimmunocomprom ... | 1995 | 8590878 |
| vibrio spp. secrete proaerolysin as a folded dimer without the need for disulphide bond formation. | proaerolysin is an extracellular dimeric protein that is secreted across the inner and outer membranes of aeromonas spp. in separate steps. to investigate the role of protein folding in the second step, one or more cysteine residues were introduced and the mutant proaerolysins were expressed in aeromonas hydrophila and aeromonas salmonicida, as well as vibrio cholerae. replacing met-41 with cys resulted in expression of a protein that could form a dimer in which the monomers were linked together ... | 1995 | 8594324 |
| cloning of a cluster of chitinase genes from aeromonas sp. no. 10s-24. | a gene encoding chitinases from aeromonas sp. no. 10s-24 was cloned into escherichia coli dh5 alpha using puc19, and its nucleotides were sequenced. the chitinase gene was clustered in orfs (open reading frame) 1 to 4, in a 8-kb fragment of dna. orf-1 consisted of 1608 bp encoding 535 amino acid residues, and orf-2 consisted of 1425 bp encoding 474 amino acid residues. orf-3 was 1617 bp long and encodes a protein consisting of 538 amino acids. orf-4 encodes 287 amino acids of the n-terminal regi ... | 1996 | 8605248 |
| identification of the catalytic triad of the lipase/acyltransferase from aeromonas hydrophila. | aeromonas hydrophila secretes a lipolytic enzyme that has several properties in common with the mammalian enzyme lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase. we have recently shown that it is a member of a newly described group of proteins that contain five similar blocks of sequence arranged in the same order in their primary structures (c. upton and j. t. buckley, trends biochem. sci. 233:178-179, 1995). assuming that, like other lipases, these enzymes have a ser-asp-his catalytic triad, we used thes ... | 1996 | 8606184 |

| characterisation of the heptameric pore-forming complex of the aeromonas toxin aerolysin using maldi-tof mass spectrometry. | aerolysin, a virulence factor secreted by aeromonas hydrophila, is representative of a group of beta-sheet toxins that must form stable homooligomers in order to be able to insert into biological membranes and generate channels. electron microscopy and image analysis of two-dimensional membrane crystals had previously revealed a structure with 7-fold symmetry suggesting that aerolysin forms heptameric oligomers [wilmsen et al. (1992) embo j. 11, 2457-2463]. however, this unusual molecularity of ... | 1996 | 8617369 |

| behaviour of yersinia enterocolitica and aeromonas hydrophila in skim milk during fermentation by various lactobacilli. | in this study, behaviour of yersinia enterocolitica and aeromonas hydrophila in skim milk during fermentation by various lactobacillus sp. were determined. ph values of the skim milk samples were also examined during fermentation. the amount of produced lactic acid and diacetyl/acetoin productions of the lactobacillus sp. were estimated. antimicrobial effects of the lactobacilli on y. enterocolitica and a. hydrophila were also determined by an agar diffusion method. while y. enterocolitica was n ... | 1996 | 8638435 |
| [clinical and laboratory significance of inducible beta-lactamases]. | many species of bacteria have inducible expression of beta-lactamase and the enzyme production in these bacteria is normally held at a low level by a repressor mechanism, but in the presence of a beta-lactamase inducer this repression is lifted and enzyme production is greatly increased. inducible synthesis of beta-lactamase was first described for the gram-positive organism bacillus licheniformis. after that inducible expression of beta-lactamase was discovered in gram-negative bacteria like en ... | 1995 | 8643019 |

| the 'hidden' carbapenemase of aeromonas hydrophila. | it has been presumed that there are just two beta-lactamases in the motile aeromonas species, a carbapenemase and a cephalosporinase, based on the premise that all beta-lactamases can be detected by hydrolysis of the chromogenic cephalosporin, nitrocefin. however, when it was recently found that a non-motile species of aeromonas that causes furunculosis in salmon, contained three beta-lactamases, one of which was a carbapenemase which could not be detected with nitrocefin, it was hypothesised th ... | 1996 | 8647771 |
| survival and growth of aeromonas hydrophila on modified atmosphere packaged normal and high ph lamb. | the growth of a. hydrophila on normal ph (5.5-5.8) and high ph ( > 6.0) lamb stored under modified atmospheres was examined. lamb pieces and mince, inoculated with a. hydrophila were packaged in air, vacuum pack, 80% o2/20% co2, 50% co2/50% n2, or 100% co2 and stored at 5 or 0 degrees c for up to 42 days. samples were examined for the survival and/or growth of a. hydrophila by enrichment in alkaline peptone water and/or direct plating on starch ampicillin agar. the ph of each sample was estimate ... | 1996 | 8652346 |
