Abstract: To find out whether there were differences in drug resistance and virulence genes of Aeromonas veronii (A.veronii) from different regions,this study compared morphology,biochemistry test,drug sensitive test,artificial infection test,16S rDNA gene sequencing and virulence genes homology analysis for grass carp source strain GZCY2019,hybrid sturgeon source strain GZXY2018 and Ictalurus punctatus source strain GZBD2017.The results showed that all the three strains of A.veronii from different sources presented round,moist and smooth gray and translucent colonies with neat edges on the blood plate,and the colonies were surrounded by β hemolytic rings.Gram staining showed that negative Bacillus crassus at both ends.Drug sensitivity test showed that the three strains were all sensitive to butylaminacana,doxycycline,but were all intermediary to compound xinnomin,ceftadime,polymyxin B and other drugs,while were at different degrees of sensitivity or resistance to other drugs.Artificial infection test showed that the cumulative death rates of GZCY2019 and GZBD2017 were both 100%,while the rate of GZXY2018 was 80%.The homology analysis of 16S rDNA showed that the homology between GZCY2019 and GZBD2017 was 99.9%,while the homology between the former two strains and GZXY2018 was 97.1%.Virulence gene test results showed that Alt,hlyA and Fla virulence genes were all carried,while cytotoxic enterotoxin Act and Ast virulence genes were different.In this study,through comparison of multiple experiments with different sources of A.veronii,it was found that the three strains were basically similar in growth morphology,staining microscopy and biochemical results,but there were significant differences in resistance and virulence genes.
