Aeromonas1 DescriptionSpecies of Aeromonasare Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, facul-tatively anaerobic bacteria that occur ubiquitously and autochthonously inaquatic environments. Although historically the Aeromonas genus has been placedin the family Vibrionaceae (Popoff, 1984), there have been proposals to place itin its own family, the Aeromonadaceae (Colwell, MacDonnell & De Ley, 1986).The aeromonads share many biochemical characteristics with members of theEnterobacteriaceae, from which they are primarily differentiated by beingoxidase-positive. The genus includes at least 13 genospecies, among which arethe mesophilic A. hydrophila, A. caviae, A. sobria, A. veronii, and A. schubertii,and the non-motile, psychrophilic A. salmonicidais a fish pathogen and has not been associated with humaninfection.
