This prospective study aimed to investigate the clinical and microbiological characteristics of different Aeromonas species. Clinical isolates of Aeromonas species between 2016 to 2018 were collected in a university hospital in southern Taiwan. The species was determined by rpoD or gyrB sequencing. A total of 222 Aeromonas isolates from 160 patients in 164 episodes were identified. The crude in-hospital mortality was 17.2%. The most frequently isolated species was Aeromonas veronii (30.6%), followed by A. caviae (24.8%), A. hydrophila (23%), and A. dhakensis (16.7%). The major clinical manifestations were primary bacteremia (31.1%), skin and soft tissue infection (22.6%), and biliary tract infection (18.3%). The most common underlying diseases were malignancy (45.1%), diabetes mellitus (27.4%), and liver cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis (26.2%). A. hydrophila and A. dhakensis predominated in the skin and soft tissue infection (p |
