  • Title: Haemolysin occurrence among Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas caviae and Aeromonas sobria strains isolated from different aquatic ecosystems.
    Author: Monfort P, Baleux B.
    Journal: Res Microbiol; 1991 Jan; 142(1):95-102. PubMed ID: 2068383.
    Abstract:
    A total of 909 Aeromonas spp. isolates from different aquatic ecosystems were tested for haemolysin production by both sheep and horse blood agar-plate assays and by rabbit erythrocytes in broth assay. A comparison of these different methods was undertaken in order to appreciate their capacity to evaluate the haemolytic activity of Aeromonas spp. isolated from aquatic ecosystems. The haemolytic activity was associated particularly with A. hydrophila and A. sobria (about 95% of strains), whereas A. caviae did not produce haemolysin (about 95% of strains). A method suitable for use in routine diagnostic microbiology laboratories is proposed for quantifying both groups of A. hydrophila/A. sobria and A. caviae in environmental water.
