Abstract

Negative pyrazinamidase activity was significantly associated with Aeromonas sobria, and positive pyrazinamidase activity was associated with A. hydrophila and A. caviae (chi 2, P less than 0.0001). The absence of pyrazinamidase activity may be a potentially significant phenotypic marker for A. sobria.
