AEROMONAS CAVIAE
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Aeromonas |
| Species: | Aeromonas caviae |
| Description: | Gram-negative, straight rods with rounded ends, sometimes coccobacilli, 0.3–1.0 x 1.0–3.5 μm. Motile by a polar flagellum (variable characteristic).Colonies are smooth, circular, convex, 1–3 mm in diameter. No brown, water-soluble pigment is produced on TSA medium. |
| Synonyms: | Aeromonas caviae Eddy 1962. |
| Source: | Isolated from fresh water, sewage, and on domestic and wild animals, birds, fish (Tilapia) and human clinical samples (blood and stool cultures). |
| Pathogenicity: | Etiological agent of gastroenteritis in young children. Causes extraintestinal disease primarily in immunocompromised humans. May be associated with gastrointestinal disease in adults.A. caviae is capable of adhering to human epithelial cells and cytotoxin producing. |
