Abstract
Twenty-four clinically isolated Aeromonas caviae strains were investig ated for their invasive potential to two human cell lines, HEp-2 and C aco-2. Most A. caviae strains proved to be non-invasive. However, seve ral strains exhibited high invasive efficiencies. These were investiga ted further and intracellular bacteria were visualised by transmission electron microscopy and fluorescent staining with acridine orange-cry stal violet.
