electron microscopic examination of factors influencing the expression of filamentous surface structures on clinical and environmental isolates of aeromonas veronii biotype sobria.strains of aeromonas veronii biotype sobria isolated from clinical and environmental sources were examined for their expression of surface structures under a variety of culture conditions. when grown on solid media at 37 degrees c, more than 95% of bacteria from the majority of strains isolated from human diarrheal feces and chicken carcasses were non-piliated or expressed only a few pili of long, flexible morphology per cell. strains isolated from water or other foods were much more likely to e ...19957565173
a specific puld homolog is required for the secretion of paracrystalline surface array subunits in aeromonas hydrophila.aeromonas hydrophila is an important pathogen of fish, and its high-virulence strains display a two-dimensional paracrystalline layer (s-layer) on their outermost surfaces. the nucleotide sequence of a 4.1-kb region located 700 bp upstream of the a. hydrophila tf7 s-layer protein gene (ahsa) has been determined. a sequence analysis of the region revealed the presence of three complete open reading frames ending in a gene encoding a 79.8-kda polypeptide that shows high homology to the puld family ...19957608063
case of aeromonas veronii (dna group 10) bacteremia.we describe the first case report of bacteremia due to aeromonas veronii biotype veronii. the infection occurred in a 77-year-old man suffering from multiple underlying conditions which included cancer of the sigmoid colon. because of the unusual biochemical phenotype of this group (ornithine decarboxylase positive), it was originally identified as vibrio cholerae.19947883912
aeromonas species in septicemia: laboratory characteristics and clinical observations.we retrospectively analyzed clinical and epidemiological data on and laboratory characteristics of 53 cases of aeromonas septicemia. only four aeromonas genomospecies (species defined by dna relatedness) were associated with the 53 cases, with aeromonas hydrophila (sensu stricto) predominating (47%). nearly 60% of all aeromonas isolates from blood fell into one of four somatic groups: serogroups o:11, o:16, o:18, and o:34. unlike aeromonas-associated gastroenteritis, septicemia did not peak in f ...19947948561
the susceptibility of s-layer-positive and s-layer-negative aeromonas strains to complement-mediated lysis.forty strains of aeromonas hydrophila and aeromonas veronii recovered from invasive and non-invasive infections were tested for their susceptibility to complement-mediated lysis by 65% pooled human serum (phs). based upon the results of this assay, two major populations could be defined. the first group (n = 20) consisted of serogroup o:11 strains, all of which possessed a paracrystalline surface layer (s layer); all of these strains were refractory to the bactericidal activity of 65% phs with t ...19948000552
pili and the interaction of aeromonas species with human peripheral blood polymorphonuclear cells.the interaction of differentially piliated aeromonas strains expressing pili of two broadly different morphologic types (short, rigid (s/r) and/or long, wavy (l/w)) with human peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes (pmn) was investigated to determine whether host defense cells might exert a selective pressure on pili expression in vivo accounting for the different pili phenotypes of clinical and environmental strains. a majority of aeromonas veronii biotype sobria strains from water (6/6) and f ...19938104626
meningitis due to aeromonas species: case report and review.in recent years, aeromonas species has been reported to cause extraintestinal infections with a growing frequency. meningitis due to aeromonas species is, however, a rare entity. we report a case of aeromonas meningitis in a 54-year-old man with a history of chronic alcoholic liver disease who, after an episode of gastroenteritis, developed an acute clinical picture characteristic of meningitis with septic shock and ecthyma gangrenosum. aeromonas veronii (biogroup sobria) was isolated from cultu ...19938110931
aeromonas enteropelogenes and aeromonas ichthiosmia are identical to aeromonas trota and aeromonas veronii, respectively, as revealed by small-subunit rrna sequence analysis.the 16s rrna gene sequences of the type strains of aeromonas enteropelogenes and aeromonas ichthiosmia were determined by polymerase chain reaction direct sequencing in order to clarify their interrelationships with other aeromonad species. on the basis of 16s rrna gene sequence analysis, a. enteropelogenes and a. ichthiosmia were found to be identical to aeromonas trota and aeromonas veronii, respectively.19938240968
adhesion of aeromonas sp. to cell lines used as models for intestinal adhesion.adhesion to hep-2 cells has been shown to correlate with enteropathogenicity for aeromonas species. such adhesion is thought to reflect the ability of strains to adhere to human intestinal enterocytes, although hep-2 cells are not of intestinal origin. in this study strains of aeromonas veronii biotype sobria isolated from various sources were investigated in parallel assays for their ability to adhere to hep-2 cells and to an intestinal cell line (caco-2). quantitative assays showed identical a ...19958557078
synergistic iron reduction and citrate dissimilation by shewanella alga and aeromonas veroniitwo bacterial isolates from great bay estuary, new hampshire, in co-culture carried out anaerobic dissimilation of citric acid with fe(iii) as the terminal electron acceptor. neither isolate oxidized citrate with fe(iii) anaerobically in axenic culture. the fe(iii) reducer, shewanella alga strain bry, did not grow anaerobically with citrate as an energy source. the citrate utilizer, aeromonas veronii, did not reduce iron axenically with a variety of electron donors including citrate. the onset o ...19968824150
characterization of a type iv bundle-forming pilus (sfp) from a gastroenteritis-associated strain of aeromonas veronii biovar sobria.the colonization mechanisms of enteropathogenic aeromonas strains are poorly characterized, but recent studies indicate that some filamentous structures are intestinal adhesins. this study describes the purification and characterization of a long, flexible pilus from a gastroenteritis-associated strain of aeromonas veronii biovar sobria. sds-page analysis (various conditions) of pili preparations yielded a pilin protein band of approximately 21 kda. its n-terminal amino acid sequence was unambig ...19968827704
high-resolution genotypic analysis of the genus aeromonas by aflp fingerprinting.we investigated the ability of a recently developed genomic fingerprinting technique, named aflp, to differentiate the 14 currently defined dna hybridization groups (hgs) in the genus aeromonas. we also determined the taxonomic positions of the phenospecies aeromonas allosaccharophila, aeromonas encheleia, aeromonas enteropelogenes, and aeromonas ichthiosmia, which have not been assigned to hgs yet. a total of 98 aeromonas type and reference strains were included in this study. for the aflp anal ...19968934910
identification and molecular characterization of two tandemly located flagellin genes from aeromonas salmonicida a449.two tandemly located flagellin genes, flaa and flab, with 79% nucleotide sequence identity were identified in aeromonas salmonicida a449. the fla genes are conserved in typical and atypical strains of a. salmonicida, and they display significant divergence at the nucleotide level from the fla genes of the motile species aeromonas hydrophila and aeromonas veronii biotype sobria. flaa and flab encode unprocessed flagellins with predicted mrs of 32,351 and 32,056, respectively. when cloned under th ...19979286979
distribution and expression of beta-lactamase genes among aeromonas spp.clinical and environmental isolates of aeromonas spp. (20 aeromonas caviae, 33 aeromonas veronii and 21 aeromonas hydrophila) were examined for their ability to yield mutants derepressed for beta-lactamase production and for the distribution of the three chromosomally encoded beta-lactamase genes, amps and ceps from a. veronii bv. sobria and cpha from a. hydrophila. of these isolates, 100% and 96% of the isolates from a. hydrophila and a. caviae, respectively, yielded beta-lactamase derepressed ...19979301981
indwelling device-related and recurrent infections due to aeromonas species.from october 1995 to february 1997, 13 isolates of aeromonas species were recovered from four patients treated at national taiwan university hospital (taipei). one of the patients, a diabetic, had simultaneous aeromonas veronii biotype veronii bacteremia and a. veronii biotype sobria urinary tract infection. seven weeks after the episode, the patient had necrotizing fasciitis due to a. veronii biotype veronii. the other three patients all had underlying hepatobiliary malignancies complicated by ...19989524839
nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the metallo-beta-lactamase, imis, from aeromonas veronii bv. sobria.the aeromonas veronii bv. sobria metallo-beta-lactamase gene, imis, was cloned. the imis open reading frame extends for 762 bp and encodes a protein of 254 amino acids with a secreted modified protein of 227 amino acids and a predicted pi of 8.1. to confirm the predicted sequence, purified imis was digested and the resulting peptides were identified, yielding an identical sequence for imis, with 98% identity to cpha. both possessed the putative active-site sequence asn-tyr-his-thr-asp at positio ...19989527802
misidentification of unusual aeromonas species as members of the genus vibrio: a continuing problem.two unusual cases of aeromonas infection are described, one associated with bacteremia (aeromonas schubertii) and another in which the organism was recovered from an infected gall bladder (aeromonas veronii biotype veronii). these strains were initially identified as vibrio damsela and vibrio cholerae by the vitek and api 20e systems, respectively. use of appropriate screening tests and familiarity with the newer aeromonas species could prevent initial misidentifications and potential public hea ...19989542946
phenotypic identification of aeromonas genomospecies from clinical and environmental sources.a collection of 983 aeromonas isolates from environmental and clinical sources have been identified to the genomospecies level. a phenotypic method identified 93% of the strains. the use of citrate and the production of acid from sorbitol enabled the members of the aeromonas hydrophila complex to be separated. the most common genomospecies from intestinal sources were aeromonas veronii biotype sobria and aeromonas caviae. the former, together with a. hydrophila, was the most frequently isolated ...19989575026

prevalence, in-vitro secretory activity, and cytotoxicity of aeromonas species associated with childhood gastroenteritis in chennai (madras), india.an investigation on the prevalence of aeromonas in gastrointestinal illnesses of pediatric inpatients 1 month to 3 years of age was conducted from february 1997 through january 1998 in madras. sixteen aeromonas spp. were isolated from 11 male and five female children among the 341 pediatric inpatients suffering from acute diarrhoea. a. caviae, which was isolated from nine cases, was found to be the most predominant isolate, followed by a. veronii biovar sobria, isolated from six cases, and a. hy ...199810211427
antimicrobial activity of essential oils and other plant extracts.the antimicrobial activity of plant oils and extracts has been recognized for many years. however, few investigations have compared large numbers of oils and extracts using methods that are directly comparable. in the present study, 52 plant oils and extracts were investigated for activity against acinetobacter baumanii, aeromonas veronii biogroup sobria, candida albicans, enterococcus faecalis, escherichia col, klebsiella pneumoniae, pseudomonas aeruginosa, salmonella enterica subsp. enterica s ...199910438227
diverse restriction fragment length polymorphism patterns of the pcr-amplified 16s rrna genes in aeromonas veronii strains and possible misidentification of aeromonas species.restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis after pcr amplification (rflp-pcr) of the 16s rrna gene has been previously proposed as a rapid method to identify aeromonas species. in the present study, the precision of rflp-pcr was evaluated with 62 aeromonas reference strains. the analysis revealed that aeromonas veronii biovar sobria strains produce various patterns, possibly leading to its misidentification as an environmental species. for most other aeromonas species little variation was ...199910488176
functional characterization of type iv pili expressed on diarrhea-associated isolates of aeromonas species.our past work has shown that long, flexible type iv pili (single or in bundles) are the predominant pili expressed on fecal isolates of diarrhea-associated species of aeromonas (aeromonas veronii biovar sobria and a. caviae). they represent a family of type iv pili which we have designated bfp (for bundle-forming pili). reports from japan suggest that bfp are intestinal colonization factors. this study presents compelling evidence to support this conclusion. aeromonas bacteria and/or bfp purifie ...199910496928
interaction between aeromonas veronii and epithelial cells of spotted sand bass (paralabrax maculatofasciatus) in culture.an in vitro fish model to study the interaction between aeromonas veronii and skin, gill and intestinal epithelial cells was developed using primary cultures of mucosal cells (isolated from healthy organisms). primary cultures were exposed to aeromonas veronii strain a186 isolated from a patient with severe gastrointestinal disease. microbial adherence was assessed by a spectrophotometric evaluation of an enzyme-linked, biotin-streptavidin aer. veronii cell-adhesion assay to confluent monolayers ...200010792551
anti-adhesive activity of sulphated exopolysaccharides of microalgae on attachment of red sore disease-associated bacteria and helicobacter pylori to tissue culture cells.because of the affinity of certain bacterial species for sulphated glycoconjugates exposed on the epithelial cells of susceptible hosts, we hypothesized that sulphated exopolysaccharides of microalgae can be used in anti-adhesive therapies against bacterial infections, both in cold- and warm-blooded animals. in this study we found that adhesion of the human pathogen helicobacter pylori to the hela s3 cell line, and adhesion of the fish pathogens vibrio campbellii, v. ordalii, streptococcus sapro ...200010849279
typing of clinical and environmental aeromonas veronii strains based on the 16s-23s rdna spacers.genetic relationships of aeromonas veronii strains isolated from human and environmental sources were investigated by restriction fragment length polymorphism (rflp) of the polymerase chain reaction-amplified intergenic spacer region (isr) flanked by the 16s and 23s rrna genes. when using endonucleases alui, hinfi and cfoi the 16s-23s rdna-rflp patterns showed considerable overall similarity, although most strains yielded specific profiles. several intra-specific lines of descent comprised clini ...200010865175
