Sodium dodecyl sulphate polycylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) was used in the analysis of protein profiles for the characterization of ten isolates of Aeromonas hydrophila from naturally infected fish captured for human consumption from ABU dam between November, 2005 to January, 2006. All the six isolates had a band at the 25 KDa protein level. five isolates had a band at the 60 KDa level. This indicates that all the isolates were related and could belong to the same species. Five of the isolates were more closely related to one another, than the others, by having three similar protein bands at the 70,65 and 60 KDa level. SDS-PAGE is suggested as a routine adjunct method to the present method of characterization, classification and molecular identification of Aeromonas hydrophila.
