title: Comparison of the hemagglutination of formalinized American channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) erythrocytes between formalinized and live Aeromonas hydrophila isolated from the catfish rearing in Kasumigaura lake in Japan.
abstract: Formalinized Aeromonas (A.) hydrophila agglutinated loosely with the formalinized American channel catfish erythrocytes (FACCE), while live A. hydrophila agglutinated tightly with the FACCE. There was a significant difference on the number of attaching bacterial cells to the FACCE (p<0.01) (n=40 erythrocytes) between formalinized and live A. hydrophila. The other bacteria such as Salmonella (S.) Typhimurium ST-5, Escherichia (E.) coli V-517 and Staphylococcus (S.) hyicus ATCC1249 used in this experiment did not attach the FACCE.
