Identification of Aeromonads in Furred Animals

Abstract

Altogether 8 strains of aeromonads were isolated from various furred animals; 2 of the strains may have had fatal significance. The investigations showed that the identification of these bacteria can be based on enzymoserologic study of their proteolytical enzymes by specific antiproteolytic sera, which inhibits the biocatalytical effect of the enzymes in a casein agar medium.
