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.
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.
