Re‐identification of Aeromonas isolates from chironomid egg masses as the potential pathogenic bacteria Aeromonas aquariorum

Abstract excerpt

Egg masses of the non-biting midge Chironomous sp. have recently been found to serve as a reservoir for Vibrio cholerae and Aeromonas species. These insects are widely distributed in freshwater and evidence suggests that they may disseminate pathogenic bacteria species into drinking water systems. In the current study the taxonomy of 26 Aeromonas isolates, previously recovered from chironomid egg masses, was...
