    Abstract:
    © 2018 Elsevier B.V. The bacterium Aeromonas salmonicida is known since long time as a major fish pathogen unable to grow at 37 °C. However, some cases of human infection by putative mesophilic A. salmonicida have been reported. The goal of the present study is to examine two clinical cases of human infection by A. salmonicida in Spain and to investigate the pathogenicity in mammals of selected mesophilic A. salmonicida strains. An evaluation of the pathogenicity in a mouse model of clinical and environmental A. salmonicida strains was performed. The genomes of the strains were sequenced and analyzed in order to find the virulence determinants of these strains. The experimental infection in mice showed a gradient in the virulence of these strains and that some of them can cause necrotizing fasciitis and tissue damage in the liver. In addition to demonstrating significant genomic diversity among the strains studied, bioinformatics analyses permitted also to shed light on crucial elements for the virulence of the strains, like the presence of a type III secretion system in the one that caused the highest mortality in the experimental infection. Clinicians and microbiologists should consider these results for the inclusion of A. salmonicida in diagnosis tests since it is now clear that some mesophilic strains are also pathogens for humans.
