Popis: A correlation between the genospecies (DNA-DNA hybridization group) and the type of siderophore produced by 118 isolates of the genus Aeromonas was established. Organisms in hybridization groups 1 through 5 (including 5A, 5B, and 5AB) and group 12 predominantly produced the siderophore amonabactin, while an enterobactinlike siderophore was prevalent in groups 8/10 and 9. The siderophore produced by strains in group 6 may be an as-yet-unidentified nonphenolate, nonhydroxamate compound, and group 7 isolates synthesized no siderophores. Determination of the indigeneous siderophore (or the absence of one) produced by an isolate of the genus Aeromonas may assist in identification of the organism's genetic species and may suggest the presence of certain virulence properties.
