Aeromonas bacteria (110 strains) from a variety of clinical, food and environmental sources, were identified using routine biochemical tests. Concurrently they were tested aerobically and anaerobically for their ability to perform synergistic haemolysis with Staphylococcus aureus (the ‘CAMP’ reaction). Results did not support a reported observation that the ‘CAMP’ reaction can he used to facilitate speciation of Aeromonas bacteria.
