Abstract
Aeromonas hydrophila is a motile gram-negative rod usually isolated from marine life, soil and food products, and rarely from human sources. Two cases of Aeromonas infection were found at the University of Washington Hospital within 1 wk. In one case septicemia and death resulted from Aeromonas bacteremia. A search of the literature suggests that serious Aeromonas Infection occurs when host defenses are compromised, but symptomatic diarrhea has been reported in the absence of predisposing factors.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
