The enterotoxin activity of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemolysin hemolysin] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virulence_factor virulence factors] of ''A.sobria'' contributes to those symptoms. However, the mortality due to intestinal disease type of infection is low compared to the non-intestinal diseases caused by the ''A.sobria'' infection. | ||

Once invaded the intestine epithelial cells, Aeromonas can reach any organ via the blood. Multiple virulence factor than promote their pathogenicity. | Once invaded the intestine epithelial cells, Aeromonas can reach any organ via the blood.
