Surface Glucan Structures in <i>Aeromonas</i> spp.

<i>Aeromonas</i> spp. are generally found in aquatic environments, although they have also been isolated from both fresh and processed food. These Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria are mostly infective to poikilothermic animals, although they are also considered opportunistic pathogens...
