Abstract

Summary.

Amongst 58 isolates of motile aeromonads evaluated for the ability to produce haemolysin, haemolytic activity was significantly associated with strains belonging to the and groups. Of erythrocytes from nine animal species tested, mouse red blood cells provided the best indicator system for detection of -haemolysin activity. Furthermore, differences in the stability of the haemolysins of selected and isolates at different temperatures, and in the presence of urea or dithiothreitol were observed.
