Background: As recent evidence shows the prevalence and transmission of Aeromonas species in Southwest Asia, and there is no updated information on the characteristics of Aeromonas in Iran, we conducted this review. We systematically searched biomedical databases (PubMed, Web of Sciences, Scopus, SID, ISC, and Google Scholar) to identify relevant studies investigating the prevalence, antibiotic resistance, and main reservoirs of Aeromonas in aquatic animals and human clinical specimens during 2000-2023 in Iran. Cochrane's Q test and I^2 statistical test was used to assess heterogeneity, and publication bias was assessed using funnel plots and random effects tests.
Results: In Iran, among 8347 human clinical samples and 1802 animal and food samples, only 87 (1.04%) and 388 (21.53%) samples were positive for Aeromonas spp. respectively, and the most isolated species was A. hydrophila. The main reservoir for Aeromonas spp. were twenty-four genera of aquatic animals besides minced meat, pigeon stool and chicken meat. In Iran, Aeromonas spp. isolates showed maximum resistance to ampicillin, tetracycline, nalidixic acid and vancomycin. The heterogeneity test for prevalence of Aeromonas species on human samples and animals or food products was significant (88.1256, (5), P-value < 0.0001) and the heterogeneity rate was 97.34% with a confidence interval of 0.2-4.3 and (194.02, (10), P-value < 0.0001) and the heterogeneity rate was 94.85% with a confidence interval of 15,124 - 33,335 respectively.
Conclusions: According to these results, it is essential for exclusive attention to the prevalence and antibiotic resistance of Aeromonas in different provinces of Iran. Furthermore, special planning should be done for prevention, outbreak control and proper treatment of infections in the aquaculture industry and human societies.

Urban water bodies serve as critical reservoirs of microbial diversity, with major implications for public health and environmental quality. This study aimed to characterize the microbial diversity of surface waters and wastewater from the Pasto River in the Colombian Andean Highlands, offering insights that may support water quality monitoring efforts. Sampling was conducted at three river sites and one wastewater location.

Heavy metal contamination represents a critical environmental and public health challenge, necessitating effective remediation approaches. This study examines the bioremediation potential of three indigenous bacterial strains Aeromonas caviae KQ_21, Aeromonas hydrophila AUoR_24, and Shewanella putrefaciens SUoR_24 evaluated both individually and in consortia for their capacity to remove heavy metals. Tolerance assessments demonstrated that the coculture of these strains exhibited superior resistance to copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), and nickel (Ni), with optimal growth observed up to 6 mM for Cu, 9 mM for Zn, and 5 mM for Ni, outperforming the monocultures.

North American beavers () are semi-aquatic rodents recognized as keystone species because they increase the diversity of freshwater ecosystems. This study aimed to characterize the mortality and pathological findings in free-ranging beavers in California and, based on these results, identify potential threats to freshwater ecosystems. This study included 18 beavers submitted for postmortem examination at the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory, UC Davis, between 2008 and 2024.
