Composition and properties of the family Enterobaeteriaceae

Pathogenic Bacteria for Human and Fish Isolated from Fish Farm in Kastamonu, Turkey

“…As in every living organism, human beings are producing a number of waste products while continuing their life, and diseases such as fish and aquatic products are emerging due to the pollution caused by these products, and some of these diseases may show zoonotic characteristics [2]. Zoonotic diseases can be transmitted to humans through drinking water and, consumption of raw and undercooked fish or similar aquatic products.…”

“…lives extensively in almost every water source, especially in salty and brackish water. Besides these bacteria are frequently isolated from fish, other aquatic products, and shellfish [2,5]. Many bacteria of Vibrionaceae, especially non-epidemic isolates of Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio cholera cause the infections for human due to consumption of raw and/ or undercooked aquatic products.…”

Assessment of the marker value of various components of the coli‐aerogenes group of Enterobacteriaceae and of a selection of Enterococcus spp. for the official monitoring of drinking water supplies

“…A wealth of taxonomic data on coliforms has been collected (Gavini et al 1979Izard et al 1979aIzard et al ,b, 1980Izard et al , 1981aIzard et al ,b, 1982Izard et al , 1985Ferragut et al 1981Ferragut et al , 1983Mergaert et al 1983;Beji et al 1988) resulting in widening of the list of species answering to the 'coliform' definition. The composition of the Enterobacteriaceae (Jones 1988) has similarly been transformed. New methods of identification have been added to the armoury because it has been shown that venerated indole/methyl red/Voges-Proskauer/Citrate (IMVIC) tests are inadequate in terms of species recognition (Ducan et al 1972;Brown et al 1973;Gavini et al 1980;Leclerc 1983).…”
