UNVERIFIED_ORG: Aeromonas veronii strain E2102

Aeromonas veronii strain E2102 is a Gram-negative, mesophilic, rod-shaped bacterium that thrives in sediment environments. This organism demonstrates mobility, attributed to the presence of flagella, and it requires oxygen for growth, classifying it as an aerobe. It has a single replicon in its genome. This strain is notable for its pathogenic potential, affecting a wide range of hosts including Homo sapiens, various fish species such as Oreochromis niloticus and Ctenopharyngodon idella, as well as other metazoans and insects like Aedes aegypti and Anopheles species. The health effects associated with A. veronii strain E2102 are diverse and serious, including cholangitis, necrotizing fasciitis, endophthalmitis, sepsis, urinary tract infections, and gastroenteritis, among others. The bacterium can lead to skin and soft tissue infections, septic shock, and has been implicated in disorders affecting several organs, including the hepatobiliary system, lungs, and kidneys. The presence of A. veronii strain E2102 in sediment habitats suggests its ecological role in aquatic environments, particularly in relation to fish health and disease dynamics. Given its pathogenicity in both humans and animals, this strain highlights the importance of monitoring environmental bacteria for public health implications, especially in settings where human activity intersects with aquatic ecosystems. Understanding the interactions between A. veronii and its hosts can provide insights into disease prevention and management in both clinical and ecological contexts.
