• Resumen

  • Aeromonas are opportunist pathogens of great relevance worldwide, especially in developing countries, and associated to traveler´s diarrhea. They are mainly found in water environments and in animals, and related to several infections in humans and animals. There are many cases of human contamination worldwide by several species, especially Aeromonas hydrophila, A. caviae and A. veronii biovar sobria, associated with watery diarrhea and dysentery. In 2010, many new cases of infections by wounds and gastroenteritis, associated to two new species, A. sanarellii and A. taiwanensis were reported. In fact, the genus is pathogenic to humans and animals, with great relevance for public health.
