Aeromonas hydrophila AL06-06 genome sequencing. Aeromonas hydrophila strain:AL06-06

Motile aeromonads are a group of loosely associated species within the genus Aeromonas that have similar biochemistry, genetics, and serology. A. hydrophila was the first motile aeromonad species named; in addition to causing fish disease, this species can be associated with opportunistic human infections. Strain AL06-06 was isolated from a diseased goldfish in 2006 from the Auburn University Southeastern Cooperative Fish Disease Laboratory in Greensboro, Alabama. It is being used for comparison with virulent A. hydrophila causing disease in channel catfish aquaculture.
