In vitro susceptibilities of Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas sobria, and Aeromonas caviae to 22 antimicrobial agents

Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 1985 Jul;28(1):151-3. doi: 10.1128/AAC.28.1.151.

Abstract

MICs of 22 antimicrobial agents for 60 strains of three Aeromonas species were determined by a microdilution method. The newer cephalosporins such as moxalactam, cefotaxime, and cefoperazone, the aminoglycosides, and chloramphenicol, tetracycline, nitrofurantoin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole inhibited most of the strains studied. Within the genus, A. hydrophila was more resistant than either A. caviae or A. sobria to the antibiotics tested.
