Taxonomic study of sucrose-positive Aeromonas jandaei-like isolates from faeces, water and eels: emendation of A. jandaei Carnahan et al. 1992
2003
Fourteen sucrose-positive Aeromonas jandaei-like isolates from fresh water and reared European eels were subjected to a polyphasic study to determine their taxonomic position. Numerical taxonomy was used to analyse phenotypic data obtained for these isolates and 43 type and reference strains representative of recognized Aeromonas species. The A. jandaei cluster (phenon 1) was defined at 81.6 % similarity (S(J)); this included the A. jandaei-like isolates, the sucrose-positive strain Aeromonas veronii biogroup sobria CECT 4910 and nearly all A. jandaei reference strains used in the study. Four other reference strains of A. veronii biogroup sobria and the type strain of Aeromonas ichthiosmia …
O-Serogrouping and surface components ofAeromonas hydrophilaandAeromonas jandaeipathogenic for eels
1994
The relationship between virulence, O-serogroup, and some cell-surface features (self-pelleting [SP] and precipitation after boiling [PAB], profile of lipopolysaccharides [LPSs] and outer membrane proteins [OMPs]) was investigated in strains of the pathogenic species Aeromonas hydrophila and A. jandaei isolated from eels. Virulent strains of A. hydrophila reacted mostly with O:19 antiserum, and those of A. jandaei reacted with O:4, O:11, O:15 and O:29 antisera (Guinée and Jansen system). Regarding the PAB and LPS profiles two groups could be distinguished; (i) five PAB+ strains of serotype O:19 that possessed a homogeneous O polysaccharide side chain and (ii) thirteen PAB- strains antigenic…
Influence of diseases on the wild eel stock: The case of Albufera Lake
2009
Abstract In recent years, eel stocks in the European Union have declined dramatically. This decline has been attributed to habitat loss, over fishing, and more recently, pathogens, but little data exist on bacterial diseases of wild eels. This study reports on the bacterial and parasitic diseases affecting the wild-eel population of the Albufera Lake. Over a 3-year period, 122 eels were analysed after having been randomly chosen from those caught in the lagoon via traditional fishing procedures. This collection of individuals comprised eels at different growth stages as well as some individuals showing pathological signs, such as haemorrhagic fins, petechiae on the belly and ulcers. Microbi…
Numerical Taxonomy of Aeromonadaceae and Vibrionaceae associated with Reared Fish and Surrounding Fresh and Brackish Water
1995
Summary A numerical taxonomic study was performed on 51 isolates of gram-negative, oxidase-positive, rodshaped, heterotrophic, facultative anaerobic bacteria isolated from aquatic samples (fresh and brackish water, eels, turbot and rainbow trout). These bacteria were compared with 28 type and references strains which included most of Aeromonas phenospecies and DNA hybridization groups, as well as strains of some arginine-positive vibrios and Plesiomonas shigelloides . The strains were characterized by 137 morphological, biochemical, physiological and nutritional tests, and data were examined by simple matching (S SM ) and Jaccard (S J ) coefficients. Unweigthed pair group mathematical avera…
