| isolation of aeromonas hydrophila from the american alligator, alligator mississippiensis. | aeromonas hydrophila was isolated from the internal organs of nine adult alligators, alligator mississippiensis, which died without apparent cause, suggesting the bacterium may have been a factor. one hundred and twenty-three alligators ranging in age from six months to over 10 years were captured from five locations in the southeastern united states and sampled for a. hydrophila. the bacterium was isolated from the oral cavity of 85% of the animals, on the external jaw area from over 50% and fr ... | 1979 | 480514 |
| membrane filter procedure for enumeration of aeromonas hydrophila in fresh waters. | a membrane filter method (ma) for the enumeration of aeromonas hydrophila in natural water samples was developed. the complex, primary medium employs trehalose as a fermentable carbohydrate and ampicillin and ethanol as selective inhibitors. after 20 h of incubation at 37 degrees c, an in situ mannitol fermentation test followed by an in situ oxidase test is used to further differentiate a. hydrophila from other aquatic and terrestrial microorganisms present in freshwaters. the primary medium de ... | 1979 | 485147 |
| distribution of aeromonas hydrophila in natural and man-made thermal effluents. | densities of aeromonas hydrophila showed distinct thermal optima (25 to 35 degrees c) and thermal maxima (45 degrees c) when measured along thermal gradients created by geothermal and nuclear reactor effluents. survival of a. hydrophila never exceeded 48 h at temperatures of greater than 45 degrees c. thermophilic strains could not be isolated at any site. | 1979 | 485151 |
| aeromonas primary wound infection of a diver in polluted waters. | two separate species of aeromonas, a. sobria (not listed as a species in bergey's manual of determinative bacteriology, 8th ed.) and a. hydrophila, were primary pathogens isolated from the leg wound of a diver conducting operations in polluted waters. this is the first recorded instance of a primary infection of soft tissue in a human caused by two species of aeromonas, one of which was resistant to tetracycline. because of the very rapid development of this wound infection, cytotoxicity of thes ... | 1979 | 500794 |
| identification of isobutyronitrile and isobutyraldoxime o-methyl ether as volatile microbial catabolites of valine. | g.l.c.--mass-spectral analysis of headspace above cultures of aeromonas and moraxella spp. indicates the presence of isobutyronitrile, isobutyraldoxime o-methyl ether, methacrylonitrile and possibly methacrylaldoxime o-methyl ether. accumulation of these catabolites is maximal under low oxygen concentrations and is enhanced by enrichment of the medium with valine. isobutyraldoxime o-methyl ether is established as the compound observed but not identified in previous studies with other bacterial s ... | 1979 | 508302 |
| comparison of antibodies in marine fish from clean and polluted waters of the new york bight: relative levels against 36 bacteria. | fish from polluted waters are subject to increased prevalence of disease. because they respond to bacterial pathogens by producing serum antibodies, it was possible to construct a seasonal serological record in three fish species from clean and polluted waters of the new york bight. antibody levels were determined by testing sera for agglutinating activity against 36 strains of bacteria. evaluation of 5,100 antibody titrations showed the following. during warm months, summer flounder (paralichth ... | 1979 | 518084 |
