health hazards: A review,

Abstract
Aeromonas
is recognized to cause a variety of diseases in man. In humans,
they are associated with intestinal and extraintestinal
infections. With the growing importance of
Aeromonas
as an emerging pathogen, it is important to combat this
organism. It is indisputable that
Aeromonas
strains may produce many different putative virulence factors
such as enterotoxins, hemolysins or cytotoxins, and antibiotic
resistance against different antibiotics. The ability of these
bacteria to grow competitively at 5°C may be indicative of their
potential as a public health hazard. Comprehensive enteric
disease surveillance strategies, prevention and education are
essential for meeting the challenges in the years ahead. It is
important for us to promote the value of enteric cultures when
patients have a gastrointestinal illness or bloody diarrhea or
when multiple cases of enteric disease occur after a common
exposure. With the growing importance of
Aeromonas
as an emerging pathogen, it is important to combat this
organism. It is indisputable that
Aeromonas
strains may produce many different putative virulence factors,
such as enterotoxins, hemolysins or cytotoxins. It has been
established that aerolysin is a virulence factor contributing to
the pathogenesis of
Aeromonas hydrophila
infection. Fish and chicken play an important role in the
transmission of this pathogen to humans. In the present study,
the high prevalence of toxin-producing strains was found among
the
Aeromonas
isolates. The ability of these bacteria to grow competitively at
5°C may be indicative of their potential as a public health
hazard. The present review was constructed with a view to
highlight the zoonotic importance of
Aeromonas
pathogen in fish and chicken meat.
Keywords:
Aeromonas,
antibiotic resistance, chicken, fish, public health.
