Aeromonas hydrophila produces two hemolysins and an enterotoxin during growth. Enterotoxin, separated from the hemolysins, gave positive reactions in the rabbit intestinal loop test, the rabbit skin test and the adrenal Y1 cell test. Neutralization experiments in the rabbit loop, rabbit skin and Y1 cell tests failed to demonstrate any immunological relationship between Aeromonas enterotoxin and cholera toxin or Escherichia coli heat-labile enterotoxin. Prior incubation of Aeromonas enterotoxin with gangliosides did not inhibit the positive test results in these systems. A co-agglutination test with antiserum to purified cholera toxin was negative for Aeromonas enterotoxin, which therefore seems to be immunologically distinct from cholera toxin. The Aeromonas enterotoxin induced steroid secretion in adrenal Y1 cells and increased the intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) content of Y1 cells as well as of rabbit intestinal epithelial cells. It thus seems to act via the adenylate cyclase-cAMP pathway and should be classified as a cytotonic enterotoxin according to the classification of Keusch and Donta (1975).
