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.

This study investigated the effects of carvacrol (CAR) and 1,8-cineole (CIN) alone (at the MIC) or in combination at subinhibitory amounts (both at 1/8 MIC) on the cell viability, membrane permeability, and morphology of Aeromonas hydrophila INCQS 7966 (A. hydrophila) cultivated in a vegetable-based broth. CAR and CIN alone or in combination severely affected the viability of the bacteria and caused dramatic changes in the cell membrane permeability, leading to cell death, as observed by confocal laser microscopy. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy images of bacterial cells exposed to CAR or CIN or the mixture of both compounds revealed severe changes in cell wall structure, rupture of the plasma membrane, shrinking of cells, condensation of cytoplasmic content, leakage of intracellular material, and cell collapse. These findings suggest that CAR and CIN alone or in combination at subinhibitory amounts could be applied to inhibit the growth of A. hydrophila in foods, particularly as sanitizing agents in vegetables.

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.

Cephalopods ink has shown potential antiretroviral activity. The ink extracts of cuttlefish showed an antibacterial effect. This study aims to investigate the antibacterial activity of the methanolic extract of the ink of cuttlefish Sepia sp. against Aeromonas hydrophila. A. hydrophila are opportunists and associated with aquatic fish and shrimp disease. The shade-dried ink sample from approximately 30g ink sacs obtained from 15 animals was immersed separately in methanol (1:3 w/v) solvents for overnight. The experiment in this study used the dried extract of cuttlefish ink. The isolate of A. hydrophila was originated from Jepara Brackishwater Aquaculture Center. The average yield percentage of cuttlefish ink extract obtained was 4.86%. The results of the MIC test in Table V show that the highest average absorbance value obtained was at a concentration of 50 ppm, which was equal to 1.716 nm, and the lowest absorbance was obtained at a treatment dose of 300 ppm at 0.841 nm, while the Mc Farland tube was 0.933 nm. The results of antibacterial test on Table II showed antibacterial activity of cuttlefish ink extract at negative concentration control showed diameter zone of 5 ± 1.2 mm, at positive control showed diameter zone of 31 ± 1.2 mm, at 250 ppm result 19 ± 0.9 mm, at 300 ppm result 22 ± 1.4 mm, at 350 ppm result 31 ± 1.2 mm.
