Antimicrobial resistance profile of Aeromonas species isolated from Libya

2013 
Aeromonas species are Gram-negative, oxidasepositive rods in the family Aeromonadaceae . These organisms have been isolated from untreated drinking water and different types of foods particularly seafood and frozen chicken. Aeromonas species are recognized as agents of serious infections in immunocompromised individuals including septicemia in patients with hepatic cirrhosis with a rapidly fatal outcome. Significant association of Aeromonas species with diarrhoea, particularly in children, and soft tissue infections following water-related injuries were reported from several developing countries.
