Isolation and identification of pathogenic Aeromonas veronii from a dead Yangtze finless porpoise.

Diseases caused by Aeromonas veronii in freshwater fish have been widely reported, but other species such as aquatic mammals have probably been overlooked. Here, we identified one isolate of A. veronii from a Yangtze finless porpoise Neophocaena asiaeorientalis asiaeorientalis exhibiting disease and mortality, and subsequently confirmed its virulence in artificial infection of BALB/c mice. The bacterial isolate was identified as A. veronii based on physiological, biochemical, and phenotypic features, and homology of the 16S rRNA, cpn60, rpoB, dnaJ and gyrB genes. Our results expand the known host spectrum of A. veronii, which is of great importance for the etiology of porpoise, dolphin, and other cetacean diseases.
