Advances in Aeromonas veronii

Aeromonas veronii has been an important pathogenic bacteria to people and fish.Taxonomy and general and special biological properties about the bacteria were briefly introduced.Furthermore,virulence factors,identification,epidemiology and vaccine research was reviewed.As one member of Aeromonas spp.,Aeromonas veronii possesses the typical virulence factors,such as aerolysin,enterotoxin,adherence factors,phospholipase,serine protease,DNases,etc.Recently,identification of Aeromonas veronii relied mainly on physiological biochemical methods,and molecular biology and immunological methods were also applied for identification by someome.Aeromonas veronii caused the considerably high mortality of aquatic animals infected and serious consequence of people with hepatobiliary diseases.Diagnosis of the diseases caused by this bacteria should been enhanced.For vaccine research,scholars has developed oral and DNA vaccination with certain immune effect.
