Pathogenesis

A.hydrophila is an oppourtunistic pathogen and can cause pathogenesis in the following species;

Amphibians- Red-leg syndrome.

Cattle- Abortion.

Freshwater fish - Haemorrhagic septicaemia

Young dogs - Septicaemia

Rabbits - Haemorrhagic colitis

Humans - Food poisoning

Captive Snakes - Ulcerative stomatitis, Pneumonia and septicaemia
