| incidence of toxigenic vibrios in foods available in taiwan. | a total of 1088 vibrios and related species were isolated from seafood and aquacultured foods available in taiwan. they were identified as vibrio alginolyticus, v. cholerae, v. fluvialis i, v. fluvialis ii, v. parahaemolyticus, v. mimicus, aeromonas caviae, a. hydrophila, a. sobria and other species. incidence of these vibrio and aeromonas species in these foods was high. vibrio parahaemolyticus was frequently found in seawater and in foods of freshwater origin. the vibrio isolates were examined ... | 1992 | 1399913 |
| multiplex pcr detection of enterotoxin genes in aeromonas spp. from suspect food samples in northern taiwan. | aeromonads possess an array of virulence factors and are causative agents of a number of human infections. among them, genes of one cytotoxic (act) and two cytotonic (alt, ast) enterotoxins are implicated in a human diarrheal disease. a rapid, specific, simultaneous detection of these enterotoxin genes in suspected food poisoning samples is not yet reported. hence, a multiplex pcr assay was designed to amplify the cytotoxic (act), heat-labile cytotonic (alt), and heat-stable cytotonic (ast) ente ... | 2008 | 18939759 |
| aeromonas taiwanensis sp. nov. and aeromonas sanarellii sp. nov., clinical species from taiwan. | two clinical aeromonas strains (a2-50(t) and a2-67(t)) recovered from the wounds of two patients in taiwan could not be assigned to any known species of this genus based on their 16s rrna gene sequences, which showed similarities of 99.6-99.8 % to those of the type strains of aeromonas caviae, a. trota and a. aquariorum. the rpod phylogenetic tree allocated these strains to two novel and independent phylogenetic lines, the neighbouring species being a. caviae, the type strain of which showed 93. ... | 2010 | 19819994 |
| different clinical characteristics among aeromonas hydrophila, aeromonas veronii biovar sobria and aeromonas caviae monomicrobial bacteremia. | this study aimed to compare the clinical presentations of aeromonas hydrophila, a. veronii biovar sobria and a. caviae monomicrobial bacteremia by a retrospective method at three hospitals in taiwan during an 8-yr period. there were 87 patients with a. hydrophila bacteremia, 45 with a. veronii biovar sobria bacteremia and 22 with a. caviae bacteremia. compared with a. hydrophila and a. veronii biovar sobria bacteremia, a. caviae bacteremia was more healthcare-associated (45 vs 30 and 16%; p = 0. ... | 2011 | 22065896 |
| Bacteremia due to extended-spectrum-ß-lactamase-producing Aeromonas spp. at a medical center in Southern Taiwan. | Although extended-spectrum-ß-lactamase (ESBL)-producing aeromonads have been increasingly reported in recent years, most of them were isolates from case reports or environmental isolates. To investigate the prevalence of ESBL producers among Aeromonas blood isolates and the genes encoding ESBLs, consecutive nonduplicate Aeromonas blood isolates collected at a medical center in southern Taiwan from March 2004 to December 2008 were studied. The ESBL phenotypes were examined by clavulanate combinat ... | 2011 | 21968366 |
| clinical significance and distribution of putative virulence markers of 116 consecutive clinical aeromonas isolates in southern taiwan. | the objectives of this study were to elucidate the clinical manifestations of aeromonas infections and the association of putative virulence genes with clinical invasiveness. | 2007 | 16716402 |
