Bacterial virulence can only be assessed by confronting bacteria with a host. Here, we present a new simple assay to evaluate Aeromonas virulence, making use of Dictyostelium amoebae as an alternative host model. This assay can be modulated to assess virulence of very different Aeromonas species.
细菌毒力只能通过让细菌与宿主接触来评估。在此,我们提出一种新的简单检测方法来评估气单胞菌的毒力,利用盘基网柄菌变形虫作为替代宿主模型。该检测方法可进行调整,以评估非常不同的气单胞菌物种的毒力。
