| pneumonia due to aeromonas hydrophila-complex: epidemiologic, clinical, and microbiologic features. | review of published data examining the various types of infections produced by strains of the aeromonas hydrophila-complex demonstrates a paucity of information on lower respiratory tract infections due to this organism. although it is rarely cited as a cause of pneumonitis, we have been able to collect epidemiologic, clinical, and microbiologic data on eight patients who have had evidence of aeromonas pneumonia. interestingly, seven of the eight patients were male, and the average age for the g ... | 1988 | 3282317 |
| specific inhibition of aspartase by s-2,3-dicarboxyaziridine. | aspartase of escherichia coli was inhibited in a competitive manner by s-2,3-dicarboxyazirdine (dcaz), an antibacterial substance against aeromonas salmonesida. the inhibition constant (ki) was 55 microm, which was as low as less than one tenth that of the km value for the substrate, l-aspartate. in view of the fact that both aspartase and fumarase (j. greenhut et al. (1985) j. biol. chem. 260, 6684-6686) were inhibited by dcaz in competitive manners, common features of the reaction mechanism of ... | 1988 | 3289541 |
| partial purification and characterization of an extracellular proteinase from aeromonas hydrophila strain a4. | an extracellular metalloproteinase from aeromonas hydrophila strain a4, isolated from milk, was purified by a factor of 300 by chromatography on deae-cellulose and sephadex g-150. the enzyme had a mol. wt of 43,000 and contained 2 g atom ca/mol. it was active over a ph range 4.8-9.5 and had optimum activity on casein at ph 7.0 with km = 0.17 mm. it was strongly inactivated by metal chelators and the apoenzyme was fully reactivated with ca2+, mn2+ or co2+. heavy metal ions such as ag+, hg2+, fe2+ ... | 1988 | 3290294 |
| a comparative study of the formation of extracellular proteins by aeromonas salmonicida at two different temperatures. | aeromonas salmonicida was grown in a supplemented 3% (w/v) tryptone soya broth medium at 10 degrees c, a temperature at the lower end of the range over which furunculosis has been observed to occur in the field, and 25 degrees c, the optimum temperature for growth. similar bacterial densities in the range 2.35 +/- 0.05 mg dry wt/ml were achieved in the two cultures at the beginning of the stationary phase of the growth cycle, after 125 h at 10 degrees c and 18 h at 25 degrees c. at this point, a ... | 1987 | 3298187 |

| [aeromonas spp. as pathogens in human infections: diagnosis and clinical significance]. | aeromonads have been described as causative agents in a wide variety of infections in immunosuppressed as well as in immunocompetent patients. it is still controversial whether or not some or all three currently recognized species have to be considered as enteropathogenic. clinical and epidemiological data are incomplete and contradictory although laboratory diagnosis does not cause real problems. | 1987 | 3315971 |
| does aeromonas hydrophila preferentially colonize the bowels of patients with hematologic malignancies? | weekly cultures of stools from neutropenic patients and bone marrow transplant recipients yielded aeromonas hydrophila from 8% of 88 patients over a 2-yr period. during this time stools in the routine enteric laboratory yielded a. hydrophila in 0.24% of 1632 patients. although the patient groups and culture methods were not directly comparable, this significant difference in isolation rate (p less than 0.001) may reflect a higher colonization rate in the immunocompromised patient. | 1987 | 3319373 |
| inhibition of the aeromonas salmonicida extracellular protease by alpha 2-macroglobulin in the serum of rainbow trout. | one of the major pathogenic factors of aeromonas salmonicida, the bacterium causing furunculosis in fish, is considered to be a protease secreted in the extracellular products. this protease can be inhibited by normal trout and rabbit serum but the factor responsible has not hitherto been identified. the present results demonstrate that the a. salmonicida protease is inhibited by the alpha 2-macroglobulin of rainbow trout serum. this inhibitor accounts for about 9% of the total trypsin inhibitin ... | 1987 | 2461505 |

| homology of saccharomyces cerevisiae adh4 to an iron-activated alcohol dehydrogenase from zymomonas mobilis. | insertion of the transposable element ty at the adh4 locus results in increased levels of a new alcohol dehydrogenase (adh) activity in saccharomyces cerevisiae. the dna sequence of this locus has been determined. it contains a long open reading frame which is not homologous to the other adh isozymes that have been characterized in s. cerevisiae nor does it show obvious homology to drosophila adh. the hypothetical adh does, however, show strong homology to the sequence of an iron-activated adh f ... | 1987 | 2823079 |
| effects of polymyxin b nonapeptide on aeromonas salmonicida. | in contrast to polymyxin b-susceptible gram-negative bacteria of human origin, the fish pathogen aeromonas salmonicida was resistant to sensitization by polymyxin b nonapeptide (pmbn) to hydrophobic antibiotics. similarly, sensitization of a. salmonicida strains by pmbn to the bactericidal action of brook trout (salvelinus fontinalis) serum complement was less pronounced than the similar effect of pmbn against other gram-negative bacteria in certain mammalian sera. the surface array protein (a l ... | 1987 | 2823698 |
| molecular analysis of bacterial cytolysins. | results of molecular and pathogenic studies of three different bacterial hemolysins (cytolysins) are presented. these exoproteins derive from the two gram-negative bacteria escherichia coli and aeromonas hydrophila and from the gram-positive pathogen listeria monocytogenes. the hemolysin of e. coli is determined by an 8-kilobase (kb) region that includes four clustered genes (hlyc, hlya, hlyb, and hlyd). this hemolysin determinant is part either of large transmissible plasmids or of the chromoso ... | 1987 | 2825323 |
| the effect of different brands of macconkey and xylose lysine deoxycholate agar on the isolation of aeromonas hydrophila. | aeromonas hydrophila has been reported to be involved in the opportunistic infection of human beings, therefore, its rapid diagnosis from the clinical specimens was considered to be extremely important for the prognosis. the effect of different brands of macconkey (mac) and xylose lysine deoxycholate (xld) agars on the plating efficiency and colony size of a. hydrophila was evaluated by comparing with blood agar. results indicate that (i) except eiken's mac have low plating efficiency, all the m ... | 1987 | 3428016 |
| enteric pathogens in tropical aquaria. | a total of 100 tropical aquaria from six pet shops were sampled for the presence of salmonella, campylobacter and aeromonas species. eight fish tanks contained unusual serotypes of salmonella. none had been used to house terrapins. one hundred and three isolates of aeromonas species were obtained from 98 tanks. one tank contained plesiomonas shigelloides. no campylobacter species were isolated. it is suggested that a tropical aquarium may constitute an infection hazard. | 1987 | 3428370 |
