The pathogenicity of Aeromonas strains relative to genospecies and phenospecies identification.

Abstract excerpt

The relative pathogenicity of 80 Aeromonas strains typed by biochemical (phenospecies) and genetic (genospecies) methods was assessed by determining the 50% lethal dose for each isolate in Swiss-Webster mice by intraperitoneal injection. Overall, the maximum difference in virulence potential observed between the least and most pathogenic strains was a four log (10,000-fold) difference. Results according to...
