Abstract
Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and biochemical–serological assays were used to characterize environmental and clinical aeromonads. On the basis of their biochemical characteristics, 31 strains were assigned to one of the recognized groups or species within the Aeromonas genus and 11 different serogroups were detected. Low correlation between molecular and traditional typing methods was observed. The results obtained showed that the genomic analysis performed by PFGE can be a more effective means for distinguishing between Aeromonas isolates than conventional biochemical methods.
