Genomic analysis uncovers antimicrobial resistance in Aeromonas among environmental and clinical strains, indicating risk to human health.

This research aims to explore the diversity of Aeromonas bacteria and their relationship with antimicrobial resistance in South Asia.
Conducted genomic analysis using 1853 Aeromonas genomes.
Included 996 newly sequenced genomes from Bangladesh and India.
Performed phylogenetic analyses to compare clinical and environmental strains.
Identified 28 Aeromonas species and 905 novel sequence types.
Detected high levels of antimicrobial resistance genes across all isolates.
Highlighted frequent misidentification of Aeromonas as Vibrio cholerae in cholera-endemic regions.
