Abstract

Objective: Study the status of antibiotic resistance of Aeromonas spp. strains isolated from Military Hospital 103 in the period from 2014 to 2022. Subject and methods: This was a descriptive study. The subject of the study was Aeromonas spp. strains isolated from Military Hospital 103 in the period from 2014 to 2022. Results: The total number of Aeromonas spp. strains isolated in the period of study was 76. Of which, the percentage of Aeromonas spp. isolated from patients in the age group of ≥60 years was 46.1%. The rate of Aeromonas spp. causing diseases in male (80.3%) was approximately four time higher than that in female (19.7%). Blood and respiratory tract specimens were the two most common specimens that Aeromonas spp. was isolated, accounting for 52.6% and 17.1%, respectively. The percentage of Aeromonas spp. isolated from the internal medicine wards was the highest among hospital wards, at 34.2%. Aeromonas spp. was the most resistant to meropenem (56.4%), trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole (39.6%), and piperacillin/ tazobactam (33.3%). By contrast, Aeromonas spp. was the most sensitive to amikacin (93.7%), gentamycin (84.4%). Conclusion: Our study indicated that bloodstream infection and respiratory tract infection were the most popular diseases caused by Aeromonas spp. Aeromonas spp. was the most resistant to meropenem, trimethoprim/ sulfamethoxazole, and piperacillin/tazobactam and most sensitive to amikacin and gentamycin.
