Pathogenicity of live bacteria and extracellular products of motileAeromonasisolated from eels
1995
The pathogenic activities in vitro and in vivo of live bacteria and extracellular products (ECP) of 24 motile Aeromonas strains were investigated. Most Aer. hydrophila and Aer. jandaei isolates were pathogenic for eels (LD50 105·4‐107·6 cfu fish‐1) but no Aer. sobria, Aer. caviae and Aer. allosaccharophila caused mortality in eels at doses of > 108·4 cfu fish‐1. Of these Aeromonas strains, Aer. hydrophila and Aer. jandaei in particular produced elastases and haemolysins against fish erythrocytes. ECP from Aer. hydrophila and Aer. jandaei caused degenerative changes in fish cell lines and were strongly toxic for eels (LD50 1·0–3·2 μg (g fish)‐1) reproducing the symptoms associated with natur…
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…
Aeromonas salmonicida in Finland: pathological problems associated with atypical and typical strains
1991
. Aeromonas salmonicida was studied at fish farms producing salmonid smolts in northern and central Finland from 1982 onwards. Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida has been causing epizootics in salmon, Salmo salar L., and trout, S. trutta L., at two coastal farms in northern Finland sinee 1986, involving 1–29% mortality in the fish-rearing units affceted. The disease causes more serious losses of sea trout yearlings and brood fish than of salmon. The achromogenic atypical A. salmonicida proved to be the most common bacterial disease in brown and sea trout at one farm in northern Finland throughout the period, causing constant heavy losses, mainly of fingerlings, especially in 1982–1986…
