Abstract
Mesophilic aeromonads are being increasingly
reported pathogen of humans and lower vertebrates.
Water and foods are considered to be the chief
source of Aeromonas spp. At present there are
several techniques available for the detection of
Aeromonas spp. from water and foods. However,
there is still need to develop immunodiagnostics
for rapid detection of Aeromonas spp. irrespective
of their species or serotype. To meet out this
requirement present study was undertaken to
identify the common protein moiety in their OMPs
by SDS-PAGE so, that immunoassays can be developed
for efficient and rapid detection of Aeromonas spp.
from foods. Keywords: Aeromonas, OMP, SDS-PAGE,
immunoassay, foods.
