Abstract
Published 16S rDNA sequencing data for Aeromonas species were analysed and the validity of signature sequences derived from our investigations of these sequences was examined by sequencing the corresponding 16S rDNA regions of 67 environmental isolates from sewage effluents and receiving waters around Sydney and one clinical isolate, all previously classified as Aeromonas species. Species-specific probes for Aer. hydrophila and Aer. veronii were designed and tested in PCR assays and clearly discriminated these species from the other Aeromonas isolates as identified by 16S rDNA sequences.Keywords
