A partial characteristics and pathogenicity of Aeromonas salmonicida strain isolated from diseased cultured eel were studied. On the biochemicial characteristics of the isolate strain was classified into atypical Aeromonas salmonicida : the characteristics of the isolate strain differed from those of the subspecies of Achromogenes, masoucida and salmonicida. It strain was named atypical Aeromonas salmonicida EL-1 and it grew at optimal pH 7.5 and l% Nacl. In the pathogenicity test, at one to two days post infection, the motality of artificially infected eels with $1{\times}10^8$ and $1.0{\times}10^7$ cfu/fish group was 100%, and at three days pos-infection, in the $1.0{\times}10^6$ /cfu /fish infected group, the epizootic haemorrhagic ulcer was developed, and haemorragic red sports were formed around abdomen and fins and its died (40%). Total cell protein peptide bands of the A. salmonicida EL-1 were presented betweeon 11.8~102 Kd in molecular weight by the electrophoretic analysis and appeared 28 bands in all. Drug sensitivity of atypical A. salmonicida EL-1 strain was sensitivity to chlorampenicol, gentamicin, kanamycin, streptomycin and sulfamethoxazole /trimethoprim and intermidiate to ampiclin and neomycin resistant to cephalotin, erythromycin, lincomycin and tetracycline.

Atypical furnculosis caused by atypical Aeromonas salmonicida, is an emerging problem of farming of rockfish (Sebastes schlegeli) in Korea. In this study, protection against atypical furunculosis was compared in rockfish vaccinated with A. salmonicida formalin killed cell (FKC) and adjuvant containing FKC. The formalin inactivated A. salmonicida vaccine provided a low protection of 20% and 10% relative percent survival (RPS) at 44 and 58 days post vaccination. However, addition of adjuvant (squalene and aluminum hydroxide) into inactivated A. salmonicida vaccine clearly enhanced the level of protection showing 70% and 50% RPS at 44 and 58 days post vaccination.

As an epidemiological survey, mortality of marbled rockfish, Sebastiscus tertius observed from a fish farm in Gyeongnam province of South Korea. The major macroscopic sign of the diseased fish was severe multifocal dermal ulceration. Histological observation revealed inflammation, necrosis and colonization of bacteria in various tissues (gill, liver, spleen and kidney). Bacteria was isolated from spleen and kidney in moribund and mortality fish. Seven bacterial isolates from the diseased fish were identified as Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida using API 20E and 20NE, API 50CH API ZYM system. Under light microscopy, infected marbled rockfish showed the lifting of the lamella epidermal layer, edematous changes and hypertrophy of epithelial cell in the gill filament. The atrophy of the mucosal fold, erythema in the intestine, and the necrosis of hematopoietic tissue and renal tubule cells with karyolysis were observed in the kidney. In this study was demonstrated the histological reaction of red marbled rockfish infected by Aeromonas salmonicida. Furthermore, this is the first account of extensive dermatitis in Sebastiscus tertius due to atypical A. salmonicida infection, which has high potential in aquaculture among native fish species.

About 6.7% mortality was reported in a starry flounder (Platichthys stellatus) aquaculture farm in 2022. Most of the diseased fish showed a loss of pectoral fin, hemorrhages on muscle and gills, pale gills, enlarged spleen, and nodules on kidney. Parasites, fungi or viruses (viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus and hirame novirhabdovirus) were not detected from diseased fish. However, numerous bacteria were isolated from liver, spleen and kidney. Nucleotide sequences of the A-protein-encoding virulence array protein gene (vapA) of the bacteria showed 99.93% identity with Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. masoucida. This study is the first report of isolation of atypical A. salmonicida in cultured starry flounder in Korea.

경남 산청지방에서 쏘가리를 양식하던 어장에서 대량폐사가 발생하였다. 주요 증상으로 전신 피부에서 궤양이 진행되었고 조직학적으로는 주요 실질 장기에서 세균의 집락과 주변부위로 염증 및 괴사가 관찰되었다. 분리된 세균을 API 20E 및 API 20NE를 이용하여 생화학적 검사를 실시한 결과 Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida (typical A. salmonicida)로 진단할 수 있었다. 그러나 atypical A. salmonicida와 typical A. salmonicida로 구분할 수 있는 PCR 기법을 실시한 결과, 본 세균은 atypical A. salmonicida임을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 우리나라 쏘가리에서 A. salmonicida로 인한 발병의 최초 보고임과 동시에, A. salmonicida의 정확한 진단을 위해선 생화학적 검사가 아닌 PCR 검사를 이용한 진단을 실시해야 함을 제시하였다.

The emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance in pathogenic bacteria of fish and shellfish have caused serious concerns in the aquaculture industry, owing to the potential health risks to humans and animals. Among these bacteria, Aeromonas salmonicida, which is one of the most important primary pathogens in salmonids, is responsible for significant economic losses in the global aquaculture industry, especially in salmonid farming because of its severe infectivity and acquisition of antimicrobial resistance. Therefore, interest in the use of alternative approaches to prevent and control A. salmonicida infections has increased in recent years, and several applications of bacteriophages (phages) have provided promising results. For several decades, A. salmonicida and phages infecting this fish pathogen have been thoroughly investigated in various research areas including aquaculture. The general overview of phage usage to control bacterial diseases in aquaculture, including the general advantages of this strategy, has been clearly described in previous reviews. Therefore, this review specifically focuses on providing insights into the phages infecting A. salmonicida, from basic research to biotechnological application in aquaculture, as well as recent advances in the study of A. salmonicida.

Triclosan, the widely used biocide, specifically targets enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (ENR) in the bacterial fatty acid synthesis system. Although the fish pathogen Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. salmonicida exhibits triclosan resistance, the nature of this resistance has not been elucidated. Here, we aimed to characterize the triclosan resistance of A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida causing furunculosis. The fosmid library of triclosan-resistant A. salmonicida subsp. salmonicida was constructed to select a fosmid clone showing triclosan resistance. With the fosmid clone showing triclosan resistance, a subsequent secondary library search resulted in the selection of subclone pTSR-1. DNA sequence analysis of pTSR-1 revealed the presence of a chromosomal-borne fabV-encoding ENR homolog. The ENR of A. salmonicida (FabVas) exhibited significant homology with previously known FabV, including the catalytic domain YX₍₈₎K. fabVas introduction into E. coli dramatically increased its resistance to triclosan. Heterologous expression of FabVas might functionally replace the triclosan-sensitive FabI in vivo to confer E. coli with triclosan resistance. A genome-wide search for fabVas homologs revealed the presence of an additional fabV gene (fabVas2) paralog in A. salmonicida strains and the fabVas orthologs from other gram-negative fish pathogens. Both of the potential FabV ENRs expressed similarly with or without triclosan supplement. This is the first report about the presence of two potential FabV ENRs in a single pathogenic bacterium. Our result suggests that triclosan-resistant ENRs are widely distributed in various bacteria in nature, and the wide use of this biocide can spread these triclosan-tolerant ENRs among fish pathogens and other pathogenic bacteria.

USEPA 1605 방법을 이용하여 서울시 상수도계통에서 Aeromonas를 조사하였다. 2002년 7월부터 2003년 12월까지 매월 한강수계 하천수와 서울시 정수장에서 공급되는 정수, 수돗물에서 시료를 채취하였다. Aeromonas는 선택배지(ADA-V)를 사용하여 membrane 필터 표면에 성장한 노란색 집락을 계수하여 측정하였다. 하천수에서는 Aeromonas가 $1.0{\times}10^{0}-9.8{\times}10^{3}\;CFU/ml$의 농도로 검출되었으며, 정수에서는 검출되지 않았다. 수돗물에서는 141개 중 1개의 시료에서 1 CFU/500 ml의 농도로 검출되었다. 확인된 Aeromonas는 대부분 비병원성인 A. salmonicida(51%)였고, 이 외에도 A. caviae(4.7%), A. schubertti(3.4%), A. sobria(3.8%), A. hydrophila(2.1%), A ichithiosmia(0.4%)등이 동정되었다. A. salmonicida에 대한 염소 저항성을 평가한 결과, 0.2 mg/L 염소농도에서 30초 접촉 후, 99.99% (일부)가 제거되었다. USEPA 1605 방법에서 제시한 정도관리를 수행한 결과, 정도관리 허용기준을 만족하였다. 본 연구를 통해 서울시 상수도계통에서 Aeromonas에 대한 안전성이 확보되었다.
