In a recent issue of the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, Huys and colleagues (9) report a numerical taxonomic study of the genus Aeromonas using the band patterns obtained by restriction fragment selective amplification of chromosomal DNA as characters. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the AFLP technique used to discriminate the DNA hybridization groups delineated in the genus Aeromonas. The authors justified their method when consistency between AFLP results and DNA-DNA pairing data was observed; however, they were not able to explain satisfactorily the cases of inconsistency. Among them, they reported that A. encheleia strains grouped with some A. eucrenophila strains and that A. allosaccharophila strains clustered with some representatives of A. veronii. Nevertheless, the strains of A. encheleia and A. allosaccharophila were respectively segregated from the type strain of A. eucrenophila (NCIMB 74T) and A. veronii (ATCC 35624T) as expected from the results of DNA-DNA hybridization (3, 4) and 16s rRNA sequencing (10). Despite these genomic data, the authors supposed that additional DNADNA hybridizations using Aeromonas strains other than the types would give results more in accordance with their proposals. But this consideration leads to confusion in the species definition because phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of the type are the standard to delineate the biological species. Up to now, all DNA hybridization groups in the genus Aeromonas have been constituted by comparison with type strains
