Abstract

Mesophilic Aeromonas hydrophila from serotypes O:11 and O:34 grown in a glucose-rich medium produce a capsule that can be seen under light and electron microscopy. The purified capsular polysaccharide has a composition qualitatively similar for strains O:11 and O:34, but quantitatively different. The capsular polysaccharides were immunogenic in rabbits, and did not cross-react with specific antibodies against either purified lipopolysaccharide from strains O:34 or O:11 or against the S-layer characteristic of strains from serotype O:11.
