Amikacin is a first-line treatment for Aeromonas infection due to high efficacy. There are few reports of aminoglycoside-resistant Aeromonas spp. We report a soft tissue infection containing multiple pathogens, including a strain of Aeromonas hydrophila resistant to amikacin, tobramycin, and multiple cephalosporins.

The intention of this study was to identify the bacterial pathogens infecting Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia) and Clarias gariepinus (African catfish), and to establish the antibiotic susceptibility of fish bacteria in Uganda. A total of 288 fish samples from 40 fish farms (ponds, cages, and tanks) and 8 wild water sites were aseptically collected and bacteria isolated from the head kidney...

Traveler's diarrhea is the most common health problem of international travelers. We determined the prevalence of Aeromonas spp. associated with traveler's diarrhea and analyzed the geographic distribution, clinical features, and antimicrobial susceptibility. Aeromonas spp. were isolated as a cause of traveler's diarrhea in 18 (2%) of 863 patients. A. veronii biotype sobria was isolated in nine...

The efficacy of eight routine enteric agars for supporting the growth of 32 strains of Aeromonas spp. (17 A. hydrophila strains, 8 A. sobria strains, and 7 A. caviae strains) was investigated. The plating efficiency of Aeromonas spp. on these media varied greatly (range, 0 to 100%), as did their colony size when compared with that on noninhibitory medium (5% sheep blood agar). Plating efficienc...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Aeromonas spp. are known to cause a variety of infections in humans and this organism has been isolated from a variety of sources including environmental sources. The pathogenicity of the environmental isolates in and around Vellore has not been studied. This study was conducted to determine the cytotoxicity of the Aeromonas spp. isolated from water bodies, soil sediment...

The purpose of the study was to determine the microbiological status of 161 samples cooled and frozen fish products collected from retail markets in the Republic of Bulgaria. The highest total viable counts (TVCs) in cooled fish products were established for silver carp (7.30 log cfu/g), Black sea roach (7.28 log cfu/g) and trout (7.11 log cfu/g), followed by common carp (6.81 log cfu/g), vacuu...

In the present study, a cross-sectional survey of intestinal parasitic and bacterial infections in relation to diarrhoea in Vhembe district and the antimicrobial susceptibility profiles of isolated bacterial pathogens was conducted. Stool samples were collected from 528 patients attending major public hospitals and 295 children attending two public primary schools and were analyzed by standard ...

BACKGROUND Aeromonas species can cause a wide spectrum of illnesses varying from intestinal to extra intestinal and vary in their susceptibility to different antibiotics. The current study was undertaken to characterize the third generation cephalosporin-resistant strains of Aeromonas spp. which were isolated from stool specimens. METHODS Out of a total of 2780 stool samples, 29 Aeromonas spp...

OROZOVA, P., V. CHIKOVA and H. NAJDENSKI, 2010. Antibiotic resistance of pathogenic for fish isolates of Aeromonas spp. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 16: 376-386 This study has determined and compared the antibiotic resistance towards various groups of antibiotics of 25 isolates from Aeromonas spp. with different origin. The strains have been isolated from drinking water and fish samples in Bulgaria, a...

In fish spas, clients may submerge their hands, feet or whole body in basins with Garra rufa fish, for dead skin removal. Skin infections may result from using these spas, transmitted from fish to clients, through either fish or water, or from client to client. The microbiological water quality was determined in 24 fish spas in 16 companies in the Netherlands through analysis of a single water ...
