Abstract
The MICs of various beta-lactams for 182 isolates of Aeromonas species, i.e., A. hydrophila (n = 101), A. sobria (n = 69), and A. caviae (n = 12), from clinical and environmental sources were determined by an agar dilution technique. All strains were resistant to ampicillin and susceptible to aztreonam. A. sobria and A. caviae demonstrated lower resistance rates than A. hydrophila. Penicillin-hydrolyzing beta-lactamases were detected in all strains.Keywords
