Exploring Aeromonas veronii in Migratory Mute Swans (Cygnus olor): A Debut Report and Genetic Characterization.

ABSTRACT: Aeromonas veronii (A. veronii) is a ubiquitous bacterium in terrestrial and aquatic environments. It has a significant impact on animal and human health, with it becoming an emerging crucial pathogen worldwide. However, there have been no reports of mute swan infections. In the present study, after an observation of pathological changes, one bacterial strain isolated from a dead migratory mute swan was identified as A. veronii HNZZ-1/2022 based on its morphology, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS), and sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA and gyrB genes. To explore its pathogenicity, virulence gene detection and a gosling infection experiment were subsequently carried out, respectively. Six virulence g
