Previous studies have shown that two hemolytic toxins, HlyA and AerA, contribute to the virulence of Aeromonas hydrophila. A survey was performed to gauge the distribution of hlyA and aerA genes in clinical and environmental Aeromonas isolates. For A. hydrophila, A. veronii biotype sobria and A caviae, 96%, 12% and 35% of strains, respectively, were hlyA positive, whereas, 78%, 97%, 41%, respectively, were aerA positive. All virulent A. hydrophila isolates were hlyA+ aerA+. This genotype was most common in A. hydrophila (75.4%) followed by A. caviae (29.4%) and A. veronii biotype sobria (9.6%). For A. hydrophila, a two-hemolytic toxin model of virulence provides the best prediction of virulence in an animal model.
先前的研究表明,两种溶血毒素HlyA和AerA有助于嗜水气单胞菌的毒力。开展了一项调查以评估hlyA和aerA基因在临床和环境来源的气单胞菌分离株中的分布情况。对于嗜水气单胞菌、维氏气单胞菌温和生物型及豚鼠气单胞菌,分别有96%、12%和35%的菌株hlyA呈阳性,而aerA呈阳性的菌株分别为78%、97%和41%。所有强毒嗜水气单胞菌分离株均为hlyA+ aerA+。这种基因型在嗜水气单胞菌中最为常见(75.4%),其次是豚鼠气单胞菌(29.4%)和维氏气单胞菌温和生物型(9.6%)。对于嗜水气单胞菌,双溶血毒素毒力模型能最好地预测动物模型中的毒力。
