2 Abstract: Aeromonas are rod shaped bacteria that can be divided into eight to nine distinct species, including A. caviae, A eucrenophila, A. schubertii, A. sobria, A. veronii and A. hydrophilia Diseases due to Aeromonas spp. also occur in amphibians, reptiles and fish and these animals may act as carriers of the bacteria. Of the various Aeromonas species most is known about Aeromonas hydrophila-a species of bacterium present in freshwater and brackish environments that is frequently isolated from raw and processed seafood products. A.hydrophila has frequently been found in fish and shellfish. In a retail survey of seafoods, motile Aeromonas were found in 66% of shellfish and 34% of finfish. Seafoods probably become contaminated by Aeromonas spp. through the growing waters and the animals themselves, with many fish species containing Aeromonas spp. in their gut. Although the production of processed seafood products incorporates steps lethal to Aeromonas spp., these products have been found to be contaminated, which suggests that the processing facility also acts as a source of contamination.
