RESUMO

RESUMO

Fourteen strains of Aeromonas veronii were isolated from salt and fresh water in Rio de Janeiro and investigated for the presence of birulence factors. Eleven (79%) A. veronii strains were positive for enterotoxin by the suckling-mouse test and thirteen (93%) produced hemolysin. Of the 13 A. veronii strains that produced hemolysin, seven were investigated for cytotoxin production using Vero cells as indicator cells and all of them were positive
