Ulcerative Disease Syndrome (UDS) is an epizootic fish disease characterized by the presence of severe, open dermal ulcers on the head, midbody, and dorsal regions of the fish. Aeromonas hydrophila and A. sobria were recovered more often from UDS fish than other bacteria from the genera Vibrio, Alteromonas and Plesiomonas. Representative isolates of A. hydrophila, A. sobria, V. anguillarum, V. vulnificus, Alteromonas putrefaciens, and P. shigelloides taken from UDS and healthy fish were assayed for virulence-associated factors. The aeromonads produced a wide variety of hydrolytic enzymes and expressed cell surface characteristics linked to virulence whereas the other bacterial species rarely produced the same enzymes or cell surface characteristics. The role of aeromonads in UDS is believed to be opportunistic or secondary and these bacteria are thought to play an important role in this degenerative disease.
