High frequency of hemolytic and cytotoxic activity in Aeromonas spp. isolated from clinical, food and environmental in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Molecular study of aerolysin and cytotonic enterotoxin genes by PCR and colony blot hybridization was performed in 117 strains of Aeromonas spp. isolated from different sources. Homogeneous distribution of these genes in A. hydrophila complex strains was observed. For A. caviae and A. sobria complex...
