Aeromonas schubertii explained

Aeromonas schubertii is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium.^[1] Its type strain is ATCC 43700 (CDC 2446–81). It is differentiated from other species by not metabolising D-mannitol. It is resistant to ampicillin and carbenicillin and susceptible to most other agents. It causes infection in several species, including humans and Channa argus.^[2]
