abstract={Aeromonads are known to cause disease in cultured fish. <i>Aeromonas sobria</i> is a major fish pathogen and also possesses the zoonotic potential to cause a variety of diseases in humans. The current study<b> </b>reported <i>Aeromonas sobria</i> SB16 from the integument, gut, and kidney of seven rainbow trout among eleven diseased fish, depicting the presence of <i>A. sobria</i> in about 64% of the examined fish. The association of <i>Aeromonas</i> <i>sobria</i> was found to be higher in integument (65.38%), followed by gut (27.88%), and kidney (6.73%). Biochemical tests performed on the isolate showed positive reactions to citrate, ornithine, nitrate, TDA, and lysine. Morphological and 16S rRNA gene sequencing identified the isolated strain as <i>Aeromonas sobria</i>. The study is the first report of <i>Aeromonas sobria</i> in Rainbow trout from Kashmir valley, India. The occurrence of this known pathogenic microorganism from various organs of <i>O. mykiss </i>is interesting and needs further research to investigate its epidemiology, pathogenicity, and possible interactions with the host.},
