🎓 Name mentioned 7 times in PubMed until 2025-06-04.
🙆 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the species itself.
🧍 Consequently, the Subcommittee on the taxonomy of Vibrionaceae (1999) decided to clarify this problem [3].Publication:

🧍 Later, another DNA relatedness data contradicted the previous results and according to Esteve et al. [4] the synonymy beetwen Aeromonas ichthiosmia and Aeromonas veronii should be reconsidered.Publication:

🧍 On the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis [1], DNA-DNA hybridization [2] and phenotypic data [2], Aeromonas ichthiosmia Schubert et al. 1991 seems a later heterotypic synonym of Aeromonas veronii Hickman-Brenner et al. 1988.Publication:
Collins MD, Martinez-Murcia AJ, Cai J. Aeromonas enteropelogenes and Aeromonas ichthiosmia are identical to Aeromonas trota and Aeromonas veronii, respectively, as revealed by small-subunit rRNA sequence analysis. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1993; 43:855-856.
