Enterotoxin, haemolysin and cytotoxic protein in Aeromonas hydrophila from human infections

Acta Pathol Microbiol Scand B. 1976 Apr;84(2):112-4. doi: 10.1111/j.1699-0463.1976.tb01911.x.

Abstract

Three different toxins were detected in culture supernatants from 11 strains of Aeromonas hydrophila. The haemolysin and the cytotoxic factor(s) interferred in the three test systems for enterotoxin, but they could be neutralized by heating at 56 degrees C or by specific antihaemolysin.
