Increasing antibiotic resistance in clinical isolates of Aeromonas strains in Taiwan

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1996 May;40(5):1260-2. doi: 10.1128/AAC.40.5.1260.

Abstract

A total of 234 clinical isolates of Aeromonas, primarily A. hydrophila, were collected for the present study. Most were isolates from blood. By the agar dilution method, more than 90% of the Aeromonas strains were found to be susceptible to moxalactam, ceftazidime, cefepime, aztreonam, imipenem, amikacin, and fluoroquinolones, but they were more resistant to tetracycline, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, some extended-spectrum cephalosporins, and aminoglycosides than strains from the United States and Australia.
