Extracellular haemolysin is thought to be one of the important virulence factors in Aeromonas infection. Two extracellular haemolysin genes (AHH3 and AHH4) from Aeromonas hydrophila strain 28SA, one (AHH5) from A. hydrophila strain AH-1 and one (ASA1) from Aeromonas sobria strain 33 were cloned into cosmid and plasmid vector DNA in Escherichia coli. The nucleotide sequences of the open reading frames of AHH3 and AHH4 are both 1476 basepairs (bp), whereas AHH5 and ASA1 are 1455 and 1467 bp in length, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequences of AHH3, AHH4, AHH5 and the previously reported aerolysin from A. hydrophila showed a significant degree of sequence homology of over 90% each. The amino acid identity of the ASA1 haemolysin and those from A. hydrophila and Aeromonas trota aerolysins ranged from 58-68%. From DNA hybridization analysis using our cloned haemolysin genes as probes, we found that the AHH5 and ASA1 DNA probes hybridized with about 31 and 75% strains of motile Aeromonas species, respectively. The activity of haemolysins of cloned genes were different in medium agar containing various erythrocytes.
