Abstract

Aeromonas species can cause a wide range of clinical infections. Several reports of drug resistance among the Aeromonas species have been reported, but our observations have differed. Here we present the changing susceptibility pattern of antibiotics for Aeromonas species over 14 years (January 2010-February 2024) at a tertiary care hospital in South India.

Keywords: Aeromonas species; Antibiotics; Susceptibility.
