According to Huys et al. 2002, A. enteropelogenes is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Aeromonas trota. They are identical, as
revealed by small-subunit rRNA sequence analysis. In a previous study, the two type strains exhibited identical API 20E and API
50CHE biochemical profiles and were both susceptible to ampicillin and carbenicillin.

Gram-negative, straight rods. Motile by a polar flagellum.
Colonies are smooth, circular, convex, 1–3 mm in diameter. No brown, water-soluble
pigment is produced on TSA medium. Beta-hemolysis on sheep blood agar is
variable. Mesophilic, optimum growth temperature 28 ºC. Can grow in nutrient broth
with 0-3% NaCl and slowly up to 5-6% NaCl (48h).

Isolated from aquatic sources, feces and extraintestinal human infections.
Resistant to vibriostatic agent O/129. Susceptible to carbenicillin and ampicillin (unusual for the most Aeromonads).

May be involved in cases of pediatric diarrhea. Posses the 'aerolysin' production gene.
