Abstract

The MICs of 21 antimicrobial agents were determined for 60 strains of Aeromonas spp. isolated from human feces. All isolates tested were susceptible to aztreonam, tetracycline, imipenem, moxalactam, pipemidic acid, gentamicin, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, pefloxacin and ciprofloxacin. Resistance to erythromycin and streptomycin was observed in all 60 strains. Aeromonas caviae was less susceptible to cefamandole, cefotaxime, norfloxacin, chloramphenicol, tetracycline, sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim than was either Aeromonas hydrophila or Aeromonas sobria. It was concluded that cotrimoxazole or one of the newer quinolones can be considered for treatment of aeromonas-associated diarrhea.

Antimicrobial Resistance

Antimicrobial resistance poses a significant threat to the continued successful use of antimicrobial agents for the treatment of bacterial infections.

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Carbapenems

Carbapenems are members of the beta lactam class of antibiotics and are used for the treatment of severe or high-risk bacterial infections. Discover the latest research on carbapenems here.

Allergy & Infectious Diseases

Allergies result from the hyperreactivity of the immune system to some environmental substance and can be life-threatening. Infectious diseases are caused by organisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. They can be transmitted different ways, such as person-to-person. Here is the latest research on allergy and infectious diseases.

Aminoglycosides

Aminoglycoside is a medicinal and bacteriologic category of traditional Gram-negative antibacterial medications that inhibit protein synthesis and contain as a portion of the molecule an amino-modified glycoside. Discover the latest research on aminoglycoside here.
