Isolation of drug-resistant Aeromonas hydrophila from aquatic environments.

1980 
resistance phenotype correlated withthepresenceofalarge plasmid. TheChesapeake Baystrains were resistant topolymyxin Bandtetracycline, butshowedneither multiple resistance nor R-factor carriage. Twenty-five percent oftheenvironmental strains were toxigenic inaY-1adrenal cell assay.Toxigenicity showedno positive correlation withdrugresistance or withplasmid carriage. Environmental areasofheavyhumanimpact appeartobe associated withahigher incidence ofantibiotic-resistant strains ofaeromonads.
