A gene encoding an extracellular nuclease was cloned from Aeromonas hydrophila strain ATCC14715. The gene was overexpressed and the enzyme was purified by fusing to maltose binding protein. It was shown that the protein possessed DNase activity on both single-stranded and double-stranded DNAs. It exhibited both endo- and exonuclease activities. It was also shown that the protein had an RNase activity. Possible roles of this extracellular enzyme in the A. hydrophila life cycle are discussed.

A lipase from Aeromonas sp. LPB 4, a psychrotophile isolated from a sea sediment was purified and characterized. The lipase was purified 53.5 fold to a homogeneous state by acetone precipitation and QAE sephadex column chromatography and its molecular weight was determined to be 50 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The enzyme exhibited maximum activity at 10$^{\circ}C$ and was stable at temperatures lower than 50$^{\circ}C$. This lipase favored substrates containing medium carbon chain of acyl group, while too low and high carbon chain decreased its activity. The lipolytic activity of purified lipase was slightly increased by the addition of 0.1% detergent, but decreased by 1% of detergent. Butanol severely decreased the lipase activity while methanol increased the activity about 15%.

Liposome-entrapped atypical Aeromonas hydrophila antigen was prepared to investigate the potential protective efficacy for A. hydrophila infection. Carp (Cyprinus carpio) were immunized orally with liposome-entrapped A. hydrophila antigen. After immunization, significantly more antigen-specific antibodies were detected in serum, intestinal mucus and bile than non-immunized control group. The immunized carp were then challenged by immersion with $1{\times}10^{6}$ cfu/ml of A. hyrdophila for 60 min. Of the eight non-immunized carp, three carp died (62.5% survival), whereas five out of six (83.5%) of the immunized survived. Furthermore, development of skin ulcers was significantly inhibited in carp immunized with liposomes containing A. hydrophila antigen. These results suggest that liposomes containing A. hydrophila antigen have a potential for induction of protective immune responses against atypical A. hydrophila infection and also suggest the possibility of developing a vaccine that may ultimately be used for prevention of fish diseases.

Peritoneal dialysis (PD)-related peritonitis is a major cause of injury and technique failure in patients undergoing PD. Aeromonas hydrophila is ubiquitous in the environment, and is a Gram-negative rod associated with infections in fish and amphibians in most cases; however, it can also cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. We report a case of A. hydrophila peritonitis in a 56-year-old male on automated PD. Peritonitis may have been caused by contamination of the Set Plus, a component of the automated peritoneal dialysis device. Although Set Plus is disposable, the patient reused the product by cleansing with tap water. He was successfully treated with intraperitoneally-administered ceftazidime and has been well without recurrence for more than 2 years.

In this study, the effect of sodium hypochlorite on biofilm removal was evaluated using three bacterial strains; Aeromonas hydrophila, Streptococcus mutans, and Yersinia enterocolitica. For maximum biofilm removal in 10 min, sodium hypochlorite is required at 1.65, 0.83, and 0.41 g/l for A. hydrophila, S. mutans, and Y. enterocolitica, respectively. Resistance to sodium hypochlorite was increased by the biofilms of all three tested strains, while the change in bactericidal activity according to sodium hypochlorite concentration was strain-specific. Therefore, we aimed to determine the effective concentration of sodium hypochlorite required for hygiene, considering that higher concentrations are needed to remove biofilms than to kill cells.

화학독립영양미생물 Aeromonas sp. strain JS-l는 호수와 웅덩이의 표층수에서 분리 동정 되었고 분리된 strain JS-1은 에너지원과 탄소원으로써 각각 $H_2$와 $CO_2$를 이용하였다. RubisCO(EC 4.1.1.39)는 Aeromonas sp. strain JS-l으로부터 ammonium sulfate 침전과 DEAE-sepharose CL-6B, gel filtration chromatography 방법으로 정제되었다. RubisCO의 분자량은 gel filtration에 의해 대략 560 kDa임을 확인되었으며, SDS-PAGE에 의해 Large subunit(56 kDa)와 Small subunit(14 kDa)로 구성된 $L_8S_8$구조를 가지고 있음이 확인되었다. Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), $NaH^{14}CO_3$ 와 $Mg^{++}$의 Km값은 각각 0.25 mM, 5.2 mM, 0.91 mM이었으며, 효소반응의 최적온도는 $50^{\circ}C$였으며, 열 안정성은 $45^{\circ}C$까지 안정하였다.

최근 국내의 양식 메기에 표피 박리와 근육 괴사를 특징으로 하는 새로운 질병이 발생하였다. 그 폐사율은 낮으나 질병으로 인한 상품가치의 저하로 경제적 손실이 크다. 병어로부터 원인균을 분리하고 자연감염어와 인위감염어의 병리학적 변화를 관찰하였다. 원인균은 Aeromonas veronii로 동정되었으며, 원인균을 건강어에 인위감염시켜 폐사 및 증상의 발현을 매일 관찰하였다. 인위감염된 어류의 증상은 자연감염어와 유사하였으며 원인균을 감염시킨 후 7일 이내에 모두 폐사하였다. 병어의 조직표본을 제작하여 관찰한 결과, 자연감염어의 간, 비장, 신장의 울혈 및 간세포 변성과 비장 협조직의 초자적변성이 관찰되었으며, 특히 심장에서 염증성 변성과 세균응집체가 관찰되었다. 소화관에서의 울혈과 점막고 유층의 섬유화 현상도 특징적이었다. 자연감염어에 비해 약한 경향이지만 인위감염어의 조직학적 변화도 관찰되었으며, 소화관에서의 조직학적 변성은 관찰되지 않았다.

In this study, the molecular structures of tet(M) and tet(G) carried by tetracycline (Tc) resistant bacteria in intestinal microflora from the imported ornamental fish were characterized and compared with each other depend on the imported countries. Of the total isolates, approximately 8.9% of the Ent-lac+(lactose fermentative bacteria on coliform media) Tc resistant isolates in fish from three different countries, Singapore, Taiwan and Brazil, were appeared to contain tet(M). Three representative isolates of different countries, Aeromonas spp. JSM-1 (Singapore), JTM-1 (Taiwan) and JBM-1 (Brazil), were isolated and analyzed the molecular structures of tet(M) gene. Interestingly, partial sequence of tet(M) genes (1099 bp) in JBM-1 (Brazil) showed 99.5% homology with the tet(M) found in the Vibrio spp. RV16 isolate, obtained from marine fish in Korea and known to carry Tn1545 parent type of tet(M). In contrast, tet(M) gene in JSM-1 and JTM-1 showed mosaic structure of Tn1545 and Tn916, and 100% homology with each other. It may suggest the presence of various characteristics in terms of tet(M) gene structure. The determined sequence of the tet(G) from Aeromonas spp. JSG-1 and JBG-1 isolated from Singapore and Indonesia ornamental fish respectively showed similar nucleotide sequence homology but revealed a few nucleotide changes in comparison with the sequence of the prototype tet(G) gene (S52437 in GenBank).
