Abstract
Aeromonas hydrophila is an emerging pathogen of aquatic and terrestrial animals, including humans. Here, we report the whole-genome sequence of the septicemic A. hydrophila AH-1 strain, belonging to the serotype O11, and the first mesophilic Aeromonas with surface layer (S-layer) to be sequenced.
Highlights
Aeromonas hydrophila is an emerging pathogen of aquatic and terrestrial animals, including humans
Aeromonas hydrophila is a water-borne opportunistic pathogen of poikilothermic animals, including fish, reptiles, and mammals (1). It is an integral part of the intestinal flora of healthy fish (2), some A. hydrophila strains can cause severe outbreaks of motile aeromonad septicemia (MAS), causing huge economic losses in the aquaculture industry (3)
surface layer (S-layer) are bacterial cell surface proteins associated with different pathogenic functions, such as cell adhesion, antigenic properties, and protection against host complement system lysis and phagocytes (6)
Summary
Aeromonas hydrophila is an emerging pathogen of aquatic and terrestrial animals, including humans. Aeromonas hydrophila is a water-borne opportunistic pathogen of poikilothermic animals, including fish, reptiles, and mammals (1). It is an integral part of the intestinal flora of healthy fish (2), some A. hydrophila strains can cause severe outbreaks of motile aeromonad septicemia (MAS), causing huge economic losses in the aquaculture industry (3). A. hydrophila pathogenesis involves gastrointestinal and wound infections and even septicemia in immunocompromised patients (4).
