Abstract:

We tried to identify the bacteria and explore the mechanism of the bacteria's pathogenicity via housekeeping gene gyrB and in vitro organ culture (IVOC) of ileum and intramuscular injection. Microscope, electron microscope and scanning electron microscope were also used to observe and the structure, pathogen of M12 and changes of infected tissues. The results showed that M12 was short gram-negative bacteria, and both ends of it were obtuse and the size without flagellum was (0.6 to 1.6) μm×(0.6 to 0.7)μm while length of flagellum was about 2 to 3 times of the length of bacteria.It had 100.0% similarity with Aeromonas caviae from GenBank. IVOC test observed M12' adhesion in intestinal epithelial cell, resulting in formulation of biofilm structure and damage in intestinal epithelial cell. Histopathologic examination showed that M12 could cause damage in intestine, liver, lung, kidney, muscle tissue of rabbit.The assay would offer references for researching the pathogenic mechanism of Aeromonas caviae.
