Aeromonas

It is the most well known of the six species of Aeromonas.

Aeromonas hydrophila was isolated from humans and animals in the 1950s.

Aeromonas hydrophila can grow in temperatures as low as four degrees Celsius.

Aeromonas hydrophila is also less likely to utilize citrate as a carbon source than A. aquariorum.

Aeromonas hydrophila is also associated with cellulitis, an infection that causes inflammation in the skin tissue.

Aeromonas veronii is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium found in fresh water and in association with animals.

Aeromonas hydrophila is not as pathogenic to humans as it is to fish and amphibians.

Aeromonas salmonicida is a pathogenic bacterium that severely impacts salmonid populations and other species.

Aeromonas salmonicida detection of asymptomatically infected trout.

Aeromonas infections may cause skin infections manifesting as cellulitis, pustules, and furuncles.

Aeromonas hydrophila is a heterotrophic, Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium mainly found in areas with a warm climate.

Aeromonas salmonicida's ability to infect a variety of host, multiply, and adapt, make it a prime virulent bacterium.

Aeromonas salmonicida is a gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, non-motile bacterium.

Aeromonas hydrophila is associated with diseases mainly found in freshwater fish and amphibians, because these organisms live in aquatic environments.

Aeromonas aquariorum is a Gram-negative bacterium first isolated from aquariums in Portugal in 2005.

Aeromonas hydrophila is widely considered a major fish and amphibian pathogen, and its pathogenicity in humans has been recognized for decades.

Aeromonas hydrophila can be eliminated using one percent sodium hypochlorite solution and two percent calcium hypochlorite solution.

Aeromonas punctata is a synonym of Aeromonas caviae.

The recently proposed type III secretion system (TTSS) has been linked to Aeromonas pathogenesis.

Aeromonas hydrophila infections occur most during environmental changes, stressors, change in the temperature, in contaminated environments, and when an organism is already infected with a virus or another bacterium.

Aeromonas hydrophila are Gram-negative straight rods with rounded ends (bacilli to coccibacilli shape) usually from 0.3 to 1 micrometer in width, and 1 to 3 micrometers in length.

Aeromonas salmonicida is an airborne pathogen that can travel 104 cm from its host into the atmosphere and back to the water (Wooster and Bowser 1996); thus making it difficult to control.

Aeromonas hydrophila, Clostridium and Haemophilus are generally susceptible to nalidixic acid, while other bacteria such as Bifidobacteria, Lactobacillus, Pseudomonas and Staphylococcus are resistant.

Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas caviae, and Aeromonas sobria are all considered to be opportunistic pathogens, meaning they rarely infect healthy individuals.

Many types of bacteria can cause necrotizing fasciitis (e.g., Group A streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes), Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, Bacteroides fragilis, Aeromonas hydrophila).
