Phylogenetic identification of Aeromonas from pigs slaughtered for consumption in slaughterhouses at the North of Portugal

Characterization and antimicrobial susceptibility of motile aeromonads isolated from freshwater ornamental fish showing signs of septicaemia

“…The genetic diversity of Aeromonas veronii isolates (n = 42) was assessed by ERIC-PCR using the primers ERIC 1 (5'-ATG TAA GCT CCT GGG GAT TCA C-3') and ERIC 2 (5'-AAG TAA GTG ACT GGG GTG AGC G-3') (Versalovic et al 1991) and the amplification conditions described by Fontes et al (2011). Reactions were carried out 2 times for each isolate to confirm reproducibility.…”

Detection of hemolytic strains of Aeromonas hydrophila and A. sobria along with other Aeromonas spp. from fish and fishery products by multiplex PCR

“…Although Aeromonas spp. has recently received increasing attention as an agent of food-borne diarrhoeal diseases in healthy people (Janda and Abbott 2010), the PCR has been mostly used for the characterization of isolates either for their virulence properties or for the phylogenetic positions (Yanez et al 2003;Bin Kingombe et al 2010;Fontes et al 2011). In this study, hemolytic strains of A .…”

New and Emerging Bacterial Food Pathogens

“…However, in the last 20 years, little attention has been paid to meat as a source of Aeromonas sp., although a recent study by Fontes et al (2011) has shown that two-thirds of samples taken from pig carcasses and feces, and dehairing equipment and water in slaughterhouses, contained eight different species of Aeromonas sp. can be isolated from a diverse range of foods including meat products.…”
