| cloning of enterotoxin gene from aeromonas hydrophila provides conclusive evidence of production of a cytotonic enterotoxin. | culture filtrates of two aeromonas hydrophila strains which were isolated from patients with diarrhea and assumed to be causative agents of the infections were shown to contain enterotoxic, cytotoxic, and hemolytic activities. modest heat treatment of the filtrates inactivated the cytotoxic and cytolytic activities, but not the enterotoxic activity. the construction of cosmid gene banks in escherichia coli of dna from both a. hydrophila strains demonstrated that the determinants of the three act ... | 1984 | 6500697 |
| aeromonas hydrophila colitis in a child. | a 5-year-old girl presented with chronic bloody diarrhea. evaluation including sigmoidoscopy, rectal biopsy, and barium enema was consistent with the diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. culture of the stool grew aeromonas hydrophila. a. hydrophila colitis may be more common than presently realized. | 1984 | 6502383 |
| media for isolation of aeromonas spp. from faeces. | five solid media were evaluated for isolation of aeromonas spp. from faeces: desoxycholate citrate agar (dca), macconkey's agar (mac), xylose-desoxycholate-citrate agar (xdca), rogol's medium (rog), which contained ampicillin 20 mg/l and p-nitrophenyl-glycerine 25 mg/l as inhibitors, and blood agar (ba) with ampicillin 10 mg/l. false negative oxidase tests limited the usefulness of dca and mac and, although the use of xdca avoided the problem of fermentation of lactose, some aeromonas spp. faile ... | 1984 | 6502678 |
| production of cholera-like enterotoxin by aeromonas hydrophila. | a total of 249 strains of mesophilic aeromonas including 179 a. hydrophila and 70 a. caviae were tested for production of cholera-like enterotoxin by reversed passive latex agglutination (rpla) assay. a cholera-like enterotoxin neutralized with cholera antitoxin was demonstrated in the culture filtrates from eight (4.5%) of the 179 a. hydrophila strains, while none of a. caviae strains revealed the enterotoxin production in the test. production of the cholera-like enterotoxin in the eight strain ... | 1984 | 6503026 |
| isolation of enterotoxigenic, hemolytic, and antibiotic-resistant aeromonas hydrophila strains from infected fish in bangladesh. | strains of aeromonas hydrophila isolated from skin infections of common freshwater fish in bangladesh were tested for enterotoxin production, hemolysin production, and any correlation between these two activities. we also tested the resistance patterns of a. hydrophila to different drugs, especially in relation to ampicillin. the a. hydrophila strains produced an enterotoxin that was related to their beta-hemolytic activities. production of beta-hemolysin may thus be an indicator of enterotoxici ... | 1984 | 6508295 |
| plasmid coding for transferable drug resistance in bacteria isolated from cultured rainbow trout. | the occurrence of drug resistance and plasmid-mediated transferability was investigated in 170 strains belonging to eight bacterial groups isolated from cultured rainbow trout. it was found that 87.6% of the strains were resistant to at least one drug, with the highest percentages of resistance being detected for ampicillin (54.7%), sulfadiazine (46.5%), nitrofurantoin (38.2%), and chloramphenicol (37.0%). six enterobacteria, two vibrio, and one aeromonas isolate transferred resistance factors t ... | 1984 | 6508296 |

| value of blood agar for primary plating and clinical implication of simultaneous isolation of aeromonas hydrophila and aeromonas caviae from a patient with gastroenteritis. | the simultaneous recovery of aeromonas hydrophila and aeromonas caviae from the stool of a 49-year-old woman with watery diarrhea was facilitated through the use of a blood agar medium which detected the hemolytic capability of a. hydrophila. in vitro phenotypic tests support the conclusion that only the a. hydrophila isolate was clinically significant. | 1984 | 6520231 |
| surface layer virulence a-proteins from aeromonas salmonicida strains. | superficial surface layer proteins (a-proteins) were present on diverse isolates of aeromonas salmonicida which differed both physiologically and in pathogenesis. three of these proteins were purified directly from the surface of whole cells or from outer membrane preparations. these a-proteins were unusually hydrophobic (45-47%) and of similar but not identical molecular mass (49, 50, and 51 kdaltons). they were nearly identical in amino acid composition and were highly conserved, but not ident ... | 1984 | 6525563 |
| phylogenetic relationships among vibrio anguillarum plasmids. | results of restriction endonuclease analysis and southern blot hybridization suggest that the r-plasmids from vibrio anguillarum strains isolated in japan can be divided into at least four groups of homology depending on the time of their isolation and geographical source. molecular cloning experiments allowed identification of specific restriction endonuclease fragments carrying the genes for either cmr or tcr as the common sequences between some of these groups of r-plasmids. the cmr region fr ... | 1984 | 6528000 |
