Total of 507 samples (clinical, environmental, food) were collected from different hospitals in Baghdad, water, soil, and different food stuffs. Biochemical and morphological characterization tests showed that seventeen isolates were identified as Aeromonas spp.These were farther characterized as Aeromonas hydrophila 10 isolates, Aeromonas sobria 2 isolates, Aeromonas eucrenophila 3 isolates, one isolate belongs to Aeromonas caviae and another one belongs to Aeromonas schubertii. Antibiotic susceptibility tests of all the isolates towards fifteen antibiotics agents were carried out and results showed that all isolates 100% were resistant to penicillin, ampicillin, ampiclox, 99% were resistant to lincomycin, 76.7% to cephalothin, 52.9% to cefotaxime. All isolates except one isolate of Aeromonas eucrenophila were sensitive to meropenem.

Pig, beef, sheep and turkey fecal specimens were assayed for recovery of inoculated Aeromonas sp. by directly plating the samples on five different agar media. Of these, starch-ampicillin was optimal with respect to selectivity and ability to differentiate from other resident microflora. Generally, the numbers of inoculated Aeromonas sp. recovered on starch-ampicillin agar were similar to those recovered on brain heart infusion and blood ampicillin agar media, and were 101 to 103 greater than the recovery rate on either MacConkey-ampicillin or cefsulodinirgasan-novobiocin agars. The sensitivity for the direct recovery of Aeromonas sp. from inoculated beef feces with naturally contaminating microflora, using streaked starch-ampicillin agar medium, was between 102 and 103 cells per gram. Using starch-ampicillin agar, the incidence of Aeromonas detected from feces of beef, pig, sheep and turkey held at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center was one of 32, none of 22, none of 24 and three of 21, respectively. Based upon current taxonomic criteria, the isolate from the beef feces had characteristics consistent with both Aeromonas sobria and Aeromonas caviae, whereas three isolates from turkey feces were identified as A. caviae or Aeromonas hydrophila. The organism was isolated from five of five packages of ground beef from retail sources. The discrepancy in the consistent presence of the organism in retail meat suggests that many of the food isolates are probably not of fecal origin.

Aeromonas spp é reconhecida como patogênica para o homem após o consumo de água e alimentos contaminados. Na presente investigação, foram avaliadas 2.323 amostras de swabs retais de neonatos hospitalizados no Rio de Janeiro objetivando o isolamento de Aeromonas. As amostras foram coletadas e enviadas ao Laboratório de Referência Nacional de Cólera e outras enteroinfecções bacterianas, Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, Fundação Oswaldo Cruz. Os swabs foram submetidos ao enriquecimento em água peptonada alcalina adicionada de 1% de cloreto de sódio (NaCl) e água peptonada alcalina adicionada de 3% de NaCl (37ºC/18-24h) e semeadas em agar seletivo para Pseudomonas aeromonas (Agar GSP). Foram isoladas 56 cepas de Aeromonas assim distribuídas: Aeromonas caviae (42,8%), Aeromonas media (25%), Aeromonas veronii biogrupo sobria (10,7%), Aeromonas hydrophila (9%), Aeromonas veronii biogrupo veronii (5,3%), Aeromonas sobria (1,8%), Aeromonas jandaei (1,8%), Aeromonas schubertii (1,8%) e Aeromonas sp (1,8%). Foi observada resistência a uma ou mais drogas antimicrobianas em 26,8% das cepas. Considerando a relevância de Aeromonas torna-se urgente alertar sobre sua importância para o controle de infecções hospitalares.
