“…Analyses using housekeeping genes, known as the gold standard for Aeromonas species identification, can determine base differences in the genome, and a number of Aeromonas species have been reclassified and new species identified as a result of their use, especially over the last decade (Beaz‐Hidalgo et al., ; Janda & Abbott, ; Martínez‐Murcia et al., ). Most researchers have reported that Aeromonas species should be analysed phylogenetically to determine intraspecific differences that can aid in the sequencing of housekeeping genes such as gyr B, rpo D or a combination (Beaz‐Hidalgo et al., ; Martínez‐Murcia et al., ; Persson, Al‐Shuweli, Yapici, Jensen, & Olsen, ; Soler et al., ). Janda and Abbott () determined that A. tecta and A. aquariorum (first identified in 2008) are affiliated with A. encheleia and that A. caviae , A. media and A. molluscorum (first identified in 2007) are affiliated with A. bivalvium .…”
