Abstract

It is known that Aeromonas spp. possess different chromosomal beta-lactamase genes. Presence and phenotypic expression of bla(TEM), bla(SHV), and bla(CTX-M) ESBL-encoding genes were investigated in environmental water isolates of Aeromonas hydrophila and Aeromonas jandaei. Presence of blaSHV and blaCTX-M genes was not observed, and blaTEM gene was verified in 91% of the isolates. Sequencing of 10 fragments showed the occurrence of bla(TEM-116). (AU)
