Abstract

Over a period of 17 months, Aeromonas caviae was cultured 15 times as the sole enteropathogen from the feces of a man who had developed chronic diarrhea after traveling to Turkey. Determination of rRNA gene restriction patterns confirmed that the seven isolates of Aeromonas caviae studied were identical (hybridization group [HG]4). After therapy with ciprofloxacin for four weeks, the patient was culture negative for the original isolate, and six months later a novel strain of Aeromonas media with a different ribopattern (HG 5A) was isolated from the feces of the patient. The patient responded again, both clinically and bacteriologically, to a four-week course of ciprofloxacin and has remained asymptomatic since then.
