The role of aeromonads as contributors to gastrointestinal pathology remains controversial. The aim of this study was to analyse the clinical characteristics and risk factors for the acquisition of an enteric infection by Aeromonas spp. in patients with digestive or nephrological diseases. The method user for the study comprised a retrospective review of the clinical history of all patients in whom Aeromonas spp. was isolated in faeces. The study period included in samples arriving at the microbiology service of the Marqués de Valdecilla University Hospital, from 2016 to 2022. The results showed that there was an increase in the more virulent Aeromonas species in the patients studied. The most common chronic diseases were cancer, inflammatory bowel disease and alcoholic cirrhosis, as well as biliary involvement in acute cases. In conclusión, Aeromonas is a genus to consider in patients with diarrhoea and hepatonephrological involvement.

Bacteria of the genus are widely distributed in water bodies around the world. Some species have been identified as human pathogens causing intestinal and a variety of extraintestinal infections. In Germany, information on diseases caused by is rare, because infections are not notifiable in Germany.

Aim: Aeromonas spp. are common members of water and wastewater microbiomes but some are listed as opportunistic pathogens and are often reported to carry antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. We aimed to assess the performance of isolation media for capturing their distribution and their role in AMR dissemination into aquatic environments.

Objectives: The severity of the diarrhea disease is exacerbated by co-infections that involve Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) and other enteric pathogens, which complicate the diagnosis and treatment. This study explores the prevalence, clinical manifestations, and risk factors of ETEC and its co-infections in Dhaka, Bangladesh.
Methods: The study used data from the Diarrheal Disease Surveillance System at Dhaka Hospital, involving 16,276 patients from 2017-2022.
