Adhesion Ability of Aeromonas caviae to Vero Cells

To investigate factors contributing to pathogencity of the Aeromonas caviae isolated from diarrhoeal children, the persent work was hosted in Ibn-Al-Athirs Hospital and Al-Salam Hospital in Mosul city. The clinical isolates proved incapable of producing enterotoxin, but able to cause cytopathic effect (CPE) in cultured Vero cells. Furthermore, they were able to establish a diffusable adhesion to the host cells.
