Two strains possessing S-layer protein isolated from catfish were found to be resistant to human and trout sera, whereas a strain producing S-layer protein isolated from trout to be sensitive to the sera. These strains exhibited similar LPS profiles and high-virulence for goldfish, which were intramuscularly injected with them. Among test strains examined, certain strains were shown to be serum resistant whether they have S-layers or not. These results suggest that S-layer protein does not always associate with protecting the organisms possessing it from bactericidal activities.}, pages = {47--58}, title = {Surface Structure and Pathogenicity of Aeromonas hydrophila Strains Isolated from Diseased and Healthy Fish}, volume = {40}, year = {1991} }
