| differentiation of motile and mesophilic aeromonas strains into species by testing for a camp-like factor. | motile and mesophilic aeromonas strains can presumptively be differentiated into species in 18 to 24 h by testing the isolates for the production of a camp-like factor. aeromonas hydrophila strains were positive either aerobically or anaerobically, aeromonas sobria strains were positive only aerobically, and aeromonas caviae strains were always negative. | 1987 | 3611325 |
| species identification of aeromonas strains based on carbon substrate oxidation profiles. | twenty clinical strains each of aeromonas hydrophila, aeromonas caviae, and aeromonas sobria were evaluated for their abilities to oxidize one or more of 95 carbon sources on a gn microplate (biolog, hayward, calif.). nine substrates yielded good, discriminatory values for the three species tested. the panel appears to be useful for the species identification of aeromonas isolates originating from human material. | 1989 | 2778077 |

| comparative in vitro activities of selected antimicrobial agents against aeromonas species and plesiomonas shigelloides. | the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibilities of fecal isolates of aeromonas caviae, aeromonas hydrophila, aeromonas sobria, and plesiomonas shigelloides were tested by agar dilution. this in vitro study suggested that ciprofloxacin, enoxacin, norfloxacin, tetracycline, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole might be effective oral agents for treatment of diarrhea involving aeromonas spp. or p. shigelloides. | 1985 | 4004196 |
| in vitro susceptibilities of aeromonas hydrophila, aeromonas sobria, and aeromonas caviae to 22 antimicrobial agents. | mics of 22 antimicrobial agents for 60 strains of three aeromonas species were determined by a microdilution method. the newer cephalosporins such as moxalactam, cefotaxime, and cefoperazone, the aminoglycosides, and chloramphenicol, tetracycline, nitrofurantoin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole inhibited most of the strains studied. within the genus, a. hydrophila was more resistant than either a. caviae or a. sobria to the antibiotics tested. | 1985 | 4037775 |
| demonstration of cholera toxin-related factor in cultures of aeromonas species by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. | the production of toxins by aeromonas species was examined by the suckling mouse test, the hemolysin test, and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with anticholera enterotoxin. a factor that was immunologically related to cholera enterotoxin was produced by 5 of 14 strains of aeromonas hydrophila and 4 of 15 strains of aeromonas sobria. analysis by these assays and by a test for heat stability suggested that the factor differed from hemolysin and from toxin that was active in the suckling mous ... | 1985 | 4044041 |

| cephalothin susceptibility as a potential marker for the aeromonas sobria group. | fifty-four motile aeromonas strains, composing the three currently recognizable species, were tested for susceptibility to cephalothin by broth dilution and disk agar diffusion assays. cephalothin susceptibility was significantly associated with aeromonas sobria (p less than 0.001) and may be an additional phenotypic marker useful in the identification of this species. | 1985 | 4056009 |

| a toxigenic profile of aeromonas hydrophila and aeromonas sobria isolated from fish. | forty strains of motile aeromonas were isolated from healthy and diseased fish. these strains were identified as a. hydrophila or a a. sobria. it was found that only strains of a. hydrophila produced a dermonecrotic factor and two zones of hemolysis on blood agar. all the strains of a. sobria tested and 72% of the a. hydrophila were enterotoxigenic. finally, we observed that only a. hydrophila strains could regularly produce hemolysin at 10 degrees c. | 1981 | 7237279 |
| sequence analysis of two chromosomally mediated inducible beta-lactamases from aeromonas sobria, strain 163a, one a class d penicillinase, the other an ampc cephalosporinase. | two beta-lactamase genes from aeromonas sobria, strain 163a, have been cloned and sequenced, one encoding a typical class c cephalosporinase, designated ceps, the other a class d penicillinase, designated amps. ceps is predicted to be a mature protein of 38 kda with a pi value of 7.0. the amino acid sequence of ceps is most similar to that of ampc from pseudomonas aeruginosa (54.7%). amps is predicted to be a mature protein of 27 kda with a pi value of 7.9 that mostly closely resembles blad from ... | 1995 | 8537283 |

| prolyl aminopeptidase is not a sulfhydryl enzyme: identification of the active serine residue by site-directed mutagenesis. | prolyl aminopeptidase (pap) has been classified as a sulfhydryl enzyme on the basis of its high sensitivity to p-chloromercuribenzoate and heavy metals. recently, however, the possibility of pap being instead a serine enzyme has been raised as a result of two observations--the conservation of some residues among the paps hitherto sequenced, and a similarity to some serine hydrolases. this is the first report describing an attempt to identify the active residue by site-directed mutagenesis. the p ... | 1994 | 7896753 |
