We describe a series of 19 patients with Aeromonas infection in a tertiary hospital from South India. Bacteremia (n,9) and skin and soft tissue infection (n,9) were the common presentations, and one case of gastroenteritis. Twelve were male and seven were female. Comorbid conditions were seen with 52% cases. Among 18 patients hospitalized, 37% required intensive care. The infection was polymicrobial in 26%, mainly enteropathogens. Decreased susceptibility of beta lactams (94% to cefepime, 84% to ceftazidime and imipenem and 53% to piperacillin tazobactam) is a matter of concern. All but one patient with bacteremia survived the infection.
我们描述了印度南部一家三级医院收治的19例气单胞菌感染患者。常见表现为菌血症（9例）和皮肤及软组织感染（9例），还有1例胃肠炎。12例为男性，7例为女性。52%的病例伴有合并症。在18例住院患者中，37%需要重症监护。26%的感染为多微生物感染，主要是肠道病原体。β-内酰胺类药物敏感性降低（对头孢吡肟的耐药率为94%，对头孢他啶、亚胺培南的耐药率为84%，对哌拉西林他唑巴坦的耐药率为53%）令人担忧。除1例菌血症患者外，其他所有患者均从感染中存活下来。
