Genome sequence of the emerging pathogen Aeromonas caviae.

Aeromonas caviae is a Gram-negative, motile and rod-shaped facultative anaerobe that is increasingly being recognized as a cause of diarrhea in children. Here we present the first genome sequence of an A. caviae strain that was isolated as the sole pathogen from a child with profuse diarrhea.

High frequency of hemolytic and cytotoxic activity in Aeromonas spp. isolated from clinical, food and environmental in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Molecular study of aerolysin and cytotonic enterotoxin genes by PCR and colony blot hybridization was performed in 117 strains of Aeromonas spp. isolated from different sources. Homogeneous distribution of these genes in A.
