Pathogenicity of aeromonas.

I Brook, J Rogers, D M Rollins

    The Journal of Infection
    |January 1, 1985
    PubMed
    Summary

    Aeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas sobria can cause skin lesions in mice, including abscesses and hair loss. These findings aid in understanding Aeromonas pathogenicity and toxicity assays.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Veterinary Pathology
    • Infectious Diseases

    Background:

    • Aeromonas species are known aquatic bacteria that can cause opportunistic infections in humans and animals.
    • Understanding the specific mechanisms of Aeromonas pathogenicity is crucial for disease management and prevention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the capacity of Aeromonas sobria and Aeromonas hydrophila isolates to induce subcutaneous lesions in a murine model.
    • To correlate observed in vivo lesions with bacterial cytotoxicity and lethality.

    Main Methods:

    • Subcutaneous injection of 10(11) colony-forming units/l of Aeromonas isolates into mice.
    • Observation and documentation of induced subcutaneous lesions, including abscess formation, skin sloughing, and alopecia.
    • Assessment of bacterial cytotoxicity using the Y-I adrenal cell assay.

    Main Results:

    • All nine Aeromonas hydrophila isolates and three of 15 Aeromonas sobria isolates induced subcutaneous abscesses.
    • Both species caused local epidermal sloughing and alopecia, correlating with lethality and cytotoxicity.
    • Epidermal sloughing was not induced by culture media or sonicated cells, and was abolished by heat treatment (45°C for 35 minutes).

    Conclusions:

    • Aeromonas sobria and Aeromonas hydrophila can induce specific subcutaneous lesions in mice, including abscesses, epidermal sloughing, and alopecia.
    • These in vivo features are linked to bacterial virulence and cytotoxicity, offering potential for pathogenicity studies.
    • The observed lesions provide novel insights into Aeromonas pathogenesis and may serve as a basis for rapid toxicity assays.
