Characterization of virulence and antimicrobial resistance genes of Aeromonas media strain SD/21-15 from marine sediments in comparison with other Aeromonas spp.

ABSTRACT: Aeromonas media is a Gram-negative bacterium ubiquitously found in aquatic environments. It is a foodborne pathogen associated with diarrhea in humans and skin ulceration in fish. In this study, we used whole genome sequencing to profile all antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and virulence genes found in A. media strain SD/21-15 isolated from marine sediments in Denmark. To gain a better understanding of virulence and AMR genes found in several A. media strains, we included 24 whole genomes retrieved from the public databanks whose isolates originate from different host species and environmental samples from Asia, Europe, and North America. We also compared the virulence genes of strain SD/21-15 with A. hydrophila, A. veronii, and
