Establishment of Epidemiological Cut-Off Values and the Distribution of Resistance Genes in Aeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas veronii Isolated from Aquatic Animals.

ABSTRACT: The emergence of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria is an enormous challenge to public health. Aeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas veronii are opportunistic pathogens in fish. They exert tremendous adverse effects on aquaculture production, owing to their acquired antibiotic resistance. A few Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) epidemiological cut-off values (ECVs) against Aeromonas spp. are available. We evaluated antimicrobial susceptibility by establishing 8 ECVs using two analytical methods, normalized resistance interpretation and ECOFFinder. We detected antimicrobial resistance genes in two motile Aeromonas spp. isolated from aquatic animals. Results showed that 89.2% of A. hydrophila and 75.8% of A. veronii isolates were non-wild
