Abstract

In vitro susceptibility to 17 antimicrobial agents was determined for Aeromonas caviae, A. hydrophila, and A. sobria isolated from feces of patients with diarrhea. The three Aeromonas species shared a similar susceptibility pattern, except to cephalothin. Of the oral antimicrobial agents, the quinolones, followed by chloramphenicol, were most active; trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and tetracycline had good but variable activity.
