Abstract

In this study, we describe the mechanism of action of a cytotonic enterotoxin produced by two isolates of Aeromonas hydrophila. Isolates SSU and Ah65 are of different origin and both are capable of producing either a cytotoxic enterotoxin or aerolysin. A cytotonic enterotoxin produced by diarrheal isolate SSU, which was purified and characterized in our laboratory, elevated intracellular cAMP and PgE₂ levels in cultured Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Likewise, enterotoxic activity expressed by a cytotonic enterotoxin was detected in the culture filtrate of a fish isolate (Ah65) after cytotoxic activity was neutralized with homologous aerolysin monoclonal antibodies. This cytotonic enterotoxin also elevated intracellular cAMP and PgE₂ levels in CHO cells, suggesting a cholera toxin-like mechanism of action for Aeromonas cytotonic enterotoxins.
