Abstract

A total of 91 strains of Aeromonas (A. hydrophila, A. sobria, and A. caviae) of clinical origin were challenged in vitro against pooled human serum. A majority of the isolates of A. hydrophila and A. sobria were resistant to the bactericidal activity of human serum, as opposed to the more serum-sensitive A. caviae species. This difference in serum sensitivity may potentially explain the greater association of the former species with bacteremia and invasive disease.
