The adherence mechanism of Aeromonas caviae Sch3N to HEp-2 cells was initially
investigated through four mini-Tn 5 mutants that showed a 10-fold decrease in adherence …

Mesophilic Aeromonas strains express a single polar flagellum in all culture conditions and
produce lateral flagella on solid media. Such hyperflagellated cells demonstrate increased …

Aeromonas species are inhabitants of aquatic environments and are able to cause disease
in humans and fish among other animals. In aquaculture, they are responsible for the …

Adhesion to host surface or cells is the initial step in bacterial pathogenesis, and the
adhesion mechanisms of the fish pathogenic bacteria Aeromonas hydrophila were …

Aeromonas caviae is increasingly being recognized as a cause of gastroenteritis, especially
among the young. The adherence of aeromonads to human epithelial cells in vitro has been …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa adheres to the mucosal surfaces of the lungs. This process
appears to be mediated by nonpilus adhesins which bind to mucin. To find this nonpilus …

Mesophilic Aeromonas strains express a polar flagellum in all culture conditions, and certain
strains produce lateral flagella on semisolid media or on surfaces. Although Aeromonas …

Two types of flagella are responsible for motility in mesophilic Aeromonas strains. A polar
unsheathed flagellum is expressed constitutively that allows the bacterium to swim in liquid …

Aeromonas spp. are pathogens of both humans and poikilothermic animals, causing a
variety of diseases. Certain strains are able to produce two distinct types of flagella; polar …

Pseudomonas aeruginosa binds to eukaryotic cells via both pilus and nonpilus adhesins,
while binding of P. aeruginosa to mucin is pilus independent. To characterize genes …
