Antibiotic susceptibility patterns of Aeromonas: Insights from aquatic ecosystems to public health impacts
Abstract
Aeromonas species, widely distributed in aquatic environments, have become significant pathogens due to their adaptability and increasing antibiotic resistance, posing risks to environmental and human health. These Gram-negative bacteria exhibit complex resistance mechanisms and virulence factors, contributing to aquatic animal and human infections, thereby raising concerns in aquaculture and public health. This review comprehensively analyses antibiotic susceptibility patterns in Aeromonas, examining how environmental conditions influence resistance and pathogenicity. The article explores recent advancements in molecular diagnostics, including CRISPR-based detection, biosensors, and lab-on-a-chip technologies, highlighting their precision and efficiency over traditional methods. Moreover, next-generation antimicrobial strategies, such as antimicrobial peptides, nanomaterials, and phage therapy …
