Haemolysin-specific polymerase chain reaction approach was used to screen the -haemolysin gene in these samples. In this study, we found approximately 57% of the Aeromonas samples showed haemolytic activity on agar plate. Six out of the haemolytic Aeromonas spp. and 1 non-haemolytic sample were detected carrying the -haemolysin gene by using PCR. This -haemolysin gene was also detected in Aeromonas veronii biovar sobria in this study which is not being reported in other study. ER -
