Genome sequence of a novel human pathogen, Aeromonas aquariorum

J Bacteriol. 2012 Aug;194(15):4114-5. doi: 10.1128/JB.00621-12.

Abstract

Aeromonas aquariorum, a recently described species, is associated with a variety of human diseases. We present here the first genome sequence of A. aquariorum strain AAk1, which was isolated as the sole pathogen from the blood of a patient with septicemia and necrotizing fasciitis.
