between clinical and aquatic strains of A. hydrophila was 76%;
whereas between clinical strains of A. hydrophila and A. sobria was
71%. Since the length of the A. hydrophila DNA fragment cloned
into pAH–1 is 3.0kb, a larger size than the aerolysin gene of aquatic
A. hydrophila (1.45kb) and, also, includes 3′ region of aerolysin gene
in aquatic A. hydrophila, the indication is that the clone, pKAH–1,
contains an entire aerolysin gene of A. hydrophila. e similarity
between a small region (containing 8 amino acids) of the aerolysin
in the clinical A. hydrophila and the alpha toxin of Staphylococcus
aureus ...
