Characterization of cytotoxin-producing Aeromonas caviae (strain HT10) isolated from a sulfur spring in Orissa, India

During a study of microbial diversity, a bacterial strain designated HT10, was isolated from sediment collected from an unexplored sulfur spring at Athamallik, Orissa, India. Various biochemical tests and 16S rDNA sequence analysis revealed that strain HT10 is Aeromonas caviae. The growth temperature of this strain ranged from 12 to 43 degrees C and the optimum temperature was 30 degrees C. The strain HT10 showed cytotoxic and alpha-hemolytic activity. This is the first report on the isolation of Aeromonas caviae from sulfur spring.     

Distribution and characterization of hemolytic, and enteropathogenic motile Aeromonas in aquatic environment

A year-long survey on the distribution of motile Aeromonas species in the surface waters of riverine and marine environments was conducted. The filtered membranes were directly placed onto the modified Pril-xylose-ampicillin agar for the enumeration of Aeromonas species. High counts of motile aromonads were found in riverine stations and this bacterial population was also observed in significant quantities in polluted marine samples. In the identification of 2,444 isolates, three species of motile Aeromonas were observed. A. caviae (43%) was prevalent followed by A. sobria (35%) and A. hydrophila (20%). A. hydrophila was high in clean riverine samples, A. sobria was predominantly isolated from a stagnant water sampling area, and A. caviae was distributed more in marine samples. Statistical analyses suggested that the densities of Aeromonas were related to the cumulative effect of various physicochemical parameters rather than to a single factor. Among the species of Aeromonas, A. hydrophila, and A. sobria were highly hemolytic whereas only 11% of A. caviae were observed to lyse sheep erythrocytes. Suckling-mouse assay was performed to elucidate the enterotoxicity of motile aeromonads and 21% of the tested strains (one A. caviae strain) were found to produce enterotoxin.     

Survival ability of cytotoxic strains of motile Aeromonas spp. in different types of water

The ability of motile Aeromonas spp. to survive in drinking water (mineral and tap water) and in sea water was experimentally tested. Clinically isolated cytotoxic strains of A. hydrophila, A. caviae and A. sobria were selected for this study. After contamination of water samples, the survival of Aeromonas strains was studied for at least three months using viable counts. The results obtained show that the survival of the Aeromonas spp. varies considerably depending on species and water type. For all three species, the survival time was longest in mineral water, where viable bacteria of each strain were still detected after 100 d. Moreover, A hydrophila and A. caviae also re-grew on the first day. In tap water all strains showed marked survival, although to a lesser extent than in mineral water. Aeromonas cells showed a rapid decline in sea water (90% reduction in viable cells after about two d) and thus seem to be more sensitive to saline/marine stress than chlorination.

Interactions of clinical and environmental Aeromonas isolates with Caco-2 and HT29 intestinal epithelial cells

AIM: Evaluation of adherence and invasion of Aeromonas spp. to human colon carcinoma cell lines Caco-2 and HT29 and assessment of cytotoxic activity. METHODS AND RESULTS: A number of 27 strains of Aeromonas caviae and 23 strains of Aeromonas hydrophila was analysed. All strains were capable to adhere to sub-confluent monolayers of Caco-2 and HT29 cell types, presenting aggregative and diffuse adherence patterns cells, respectively. In the cytotoxic assays all strains showed cytopathic and/or cytotoxic activities to Vero cells. The evaluation of the tetrazolium salt (MTT test) reduction capability was carried out in Vero, Caco-2, and HT29 cells. MTT test showed that Vero cell line was the most sensitive cell type. In the invasion test, 13 strains were analysed on Caco-2 and HT29 monolayers. Only two (15%) of the 13 strains, A. hydrophila and A. caviae species, both isolated from vegetables were invasive to Caco-2 cells. No strains were able to invade the HT29 cells. CONCLUSIONS: A. hydrophila and A. caviae isolated from human diarrhoeic faeces, vegetables, and water, were able to adhere to and produce cytotoxic/cytopathic effects in intestinal epithelial cell lines. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The presence of Aeromonas spp. in food and water samples expressing virulence factors suggest that these sources may act as dissemination vehicles of human pathogen with implication in the public health.     

Cloning and characterization of the Aeromonas caviae recA gene and construction of an A. caviae recA mutant.

A recombinant plasmid carrying the recA gene of Aeromonas caviae was isolated from an A. caviae genomic library by complementation of an Escherichia coli recA mutant. The plasmid restored resistance to both UV irradiation and to the DNA-damaging agent methyl methanesulfonate in the E. coli recA mutant strain. The cloned gene also restored recombination proficiency as measured by the formation of lac+ recombinants from duplicated mutant lacZ genes and by the ability to propagate a strain of phage lambda (red gam) that requires host recombination functions for growth. The approximate location of the recA gene on the cloned DNA fragment was determined by constructing deletions and by the insertion of Tn5, both of which abolished the ability of the recombinant plasmid to complement the E. coli recA strains. A. caviae recA::Tn5 was introduced into A. caviae by P1 transduction. The resulting A. caviae recA mutant strain was considerably more sensitive to UV light than was its parent. Southern hybridization analysis indicated that the A. caviae recA gene has diverged from the recA genes from a variety of gram-negative bacteria, including A. hydrophila and A. sobria. Maxicell labeling experiments revealed that the RecA protein of A. caviae had an Mr of about 39,400.     

Rapid and sensitive method for the detection of Aeromonas caviae and Aeromonas trota by polymerase chain reaction

A 16S rDNA-based polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was developed for the detection of Aeromonas caviae and Aeromonas trota . These two species were identified from other Aeromonas spp. and closely related species by primers set (AER1 and AER2). The amplified product was 316 bp. The identity of the amplified product was confirmed by DNA–DNA hybridization. Two sets of primers (AER8 and AER9) were used for specific identification of Aer. caviae . Amplifying the 260 bp fragment of 16S rRNA gene region and digesting it with Alu I restriction enzyme, yielded 180- and 80-bp fragments. For PCR assay, template DNA was released by mixing equal volumes of homogenized seeded crab meat with Aer. caviae and Chelex 100 (6%) incubated for 10 min at 56°C followed by addition of an equal volume of 0·1% Triton-X-100 and boiled for 10 min. The detection limit was between 50 and 100 cells g⁻¹ of crab meat. This method is very rapid and obviates the need for DNA isolation from complex food matrices and is specific for detecting two Aeromonas species.     

Dynamics of Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas sobria, and Aeromonas caviae in a sewage treatment pond

The spatiotemporal dynamics of Aeromonas spp. and fecal coliforms in the sewage treatment ponds of an urban wastewater center were studied after 20 months of sampling from five stations in these ponds. Isolation and identification of 247 Aeromonas strains were undertaken over four seasons at the inflow and outflow of this pond system. The hemolytic activity of these strains was determined. The Aeromonas spp. and the fecal coliform distributions showed seasonal cycles, the amplitude of which increased at distances further from the wastewater source, so that in the last pond there was an inversion of the Aeromonas spp. cycle in comparison with that of fecal coliforms. The main patterns in these cycles occurred simultaneously at all stations, indicating control of these bacterial populations by seasonal factors (temperature, solar radiation, phytoplankton), the effects of which were different on each bacterial group. The analysis of the Aeromonas spp. population structure showed that, regardless of the season, Aeromonas caviae was the dominant species at the pond system inflow. However at the outflow the Aeromonas spp. population was dominated by A. caviae in winter, whereas Aeromonas sobria was the dominant species in the treated effluent from spring to fall. Among the Aeromonas hydrophila and A. sobria strains, 100% produced hemolysin; whereas among the A. caviae strains, 96% were nonhemolytic.
