| identification of genes associated with copper tolerance in an adhesion-defective mutant of aeromonas veronii biovar sobria. | tnphoa mutagenesis was used to identify adhesins of aeromonas veronii biovar sobria 3767, a strain isolated from a diarrhoeal stool specimen. six mutants, from a library of 154, exhibited significantly reduced levels of adhesion to hep-2 cells. primers to the terminal regions of tnphoa were used for inverse pcr and the product from one mutant was cloned into pbluescript and partial sequence data obtained. scanning genbank and embl data bases revealed dna sequence similarity to the copa gene of p ... | 2000 | 11024350 |
| ingested blood contributes to the specificity of the symbiosis of aeromonas veronii biovar sobria and hirudo medicinalis, the medicinal leech. | hirudo medicinalis, the medicinal leech, usually carries in its digestive tract a pure culture of aeromonas veronii bv. sobria. such specificity is unusual for digestive tracts that are normally colonized by a complex microbial consortium. important questions for the symbiotic interaction and for the medical application after microvascular surgery are whether other bacteria can proliferate or at least persist in the digestive tract of h. medicinalis and what factors contribute to the reported sp ... | 2000 | 11055917 |
| complement resistance is essential for colonization of the digestive tract of hirudo medicinalis by aeromonas strains. | from the crop of the medicinal leech, hirudo medicinalis, only aeromonas veronii bv. sobria can be cultured consistently. serum-sensitive a. veronii mutants were unable to colonize h. medicinalis, indicating the importance of the mammalian complement system for this unusual simplicity. complementation of one selected mutant restored its ability to colonize. serum-sensitive mutants are the first mutant class with a colonization defect for this symbiosis. | 2003 | 12839811 |

| [severe pneumonia caused by aeromonas veronii biovar sobria: a case report and review of the literature]. | to describe the clinical features of severe pneumonitis with aeromonas veronii biovar sobria. | 2008 | 19080598 |
| a severe case of aeromonas veronii biovar sobria travellers' diarrhoea characterized by vibrio parahaemolyticus co-isolation. | we report a severe case of travellers' diarrhoea in a patient returning from ecuador to italy with the concomitant presence of aeromonas veronii biovar sobria and vibrio parahaemolyticus in their faeces. based on diagnostic results, epidemiological information and the clinical outcome, we conclude that the real aetiological agent was a. veronii biovar sobria, while v. parahaemolyticus was only transient in the intestine of the patient. | 2013 | 23002063 |
| structural analysis of the o-specific polysaccharide from the lipopolysaccharide of aeromonas veronii bv. sobria strain k49. | the o-specific polysaccharide obtained by mild-acid degradation of the lipopolysaccharide from aeromonas veronii bv. sobria strain k49 was studied by sugar and methylation analyses along with (1)h and (13)c nmr spectroscopy. the sequence of the sugar residues was determined using (1)h,(1)h noesy and (1)h,(13)c hmbc experiments. the o-specific polysaccharide was found to be a high molecular mass polysaccharide composed of repeating units of the structure: →2)-β-d-quip3nac-(1→3)-α-l-rhap-(1→3)-α-l ... | 2012 | 22483338 |
| aeromonas and plesiomonas species from scarlet ibis (eudocimus ruber) and their environment: monitoring antimicrobial susceptibility and virulence. | the present study aimed at evaluating the role of captive scarlet ibises (eudocimus ruber) and their environment as reservoirs of aeromonas spp. and plesiomonas spp., and analyzing the in vitro antimicrobial susceptibility and virulence of the recovered bacterial isolates. thus, non-lactose and weak-lactose fermenting, oxidase positive gram-negative bacilli were recovered from cloacal samples (n = 30) of scarlet ibises kept in a conservational facility and from water samples (n = 30) from their ... | 2017 | 27885558 |
| aeromonas sobria necrotizing fasciitis and sepsis in an immunocompromised patient: a case report and review of the literature. | aeromonas veronii biovar sobria is a rare cause of bacteremia, with several studies indicating that this isolate may be of particular clinical significance since it is enterotoxin producing. a wide spectrum of infections has been associated with aeromonas species in developing countries that include gastroenteritis, wound infections, septicemia and lung infections. this infection, caused by aeromonas species, is usually more severe in immunocompromised than immunocompetent individuals. we here d ... | 2014 | 25245365 |
| recombinant aexu effector protein of aeromonas veronii bv. sobria disrupts the actin cytoskeleton by downregulation of rac1 and induces direct cytotoxicity to β4-integrin expressing cell lines. | aexu is a type three secretion system (ttss) effector of aeromonas hydrophila which has an in vitro adp-ribosyltransferase (art) and gtpase-activating protein (gap) activities on rac1, rhoa and cdc42. here we show that, aexu of aeromonas veronii bv. sobria aeg1 strain disrupts actin cytoskeleton of hela cells during aeg1 infection, aexu transfection or direct application of aexu protein. such cellular disruption was rescued by either inactivation of aexu-gap activity by substitution of arginine ... | 2011 | 21963679 |
| isolation and characterization of a novel, t7-like phage against aeromonas veronii. | a virulent aeromonas veronii biovar sobria and the corresponding novel, lytic bacteriophage (vtccbpa5) were isolated from village pond water. the phage was found to belong to family podoviridae. pcr analysis of major capsid protein gene confirmed its classification to t7-like genus. the protein profiling by sds-page indicated the major structural protein to be ~ 45 kda. the phage (vtccbpa5) is host specific and is stable over a range of ph (6-10) and temperatures (4-45 °c). on the basis of restr ... | 2017 | 29116575 |
| speciation, clinical profile & antibiotic resistance in aeromonas species isolated from cholera-like illnesses in a tertiary care hospital in north india. | aeromonas species have been reported to cause various illnesses in humans such as wound infections, septicaemia, peritonitis and pneumonia. their role in causation of cholera-like illness is also being increasingly recognized. this retrospective study was done to know the presence of aeromonas as a cause of acute diarrhoea in a tertiary care hospital and to find the common species of aeromonas causing diarrhoea and their antibiotic susceptibility patterns. | 2017 | 29205196 |
