Summary

Fluorescent antibodies prepared to Aeromonas hydrophila were species specific when compared to seven other Aeromonas spp. obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). The A. hydrophila were isolated from water, largemouth bass, and alligators from a warm monimictic lake thermally altered by production reactor effluents. Over 200 isolates from water, bass, alligators, and human samples were characterized serologically, biochemically, and for drug sensitivity. The isolates were then grouped. The specificity of the antibodies was used to establish a relationship between the infective agents of the largemouth bass and the alligators when compared to those found in water.
