A study on antibiogram of Aeromonas isolates from HIV-positive human diarrhoeal cases in Jammu, India
Page No. : 137-140
ABSTRACT
A number of opportunistic infectious agents including Aeromonas spp. are known for causing diarrhoea in HIV patients. The present investigation on analysis of 32 stool samples from HIV-positive diarrhoeic patients in Jammu observed 3 (9.38 %) patients to be positive for Aeromonas species. Two isolates (66.67%) belonged to A. hydrophila and one to A. caviae. Antibiograms of isolates revealed 100% resistance to ampicillin, cephalothin and methicillin. Nitrofurantoin was the most effective being 100% sensitive. Antibiotics with more than 66% sensitivity included amikacin, chloramphenicol, enrofloxacin and ofloxacin.Keywords: Aeromonas, antibiotics, diarrhoea, HIV, Jammu
