Biofilm formation and multidrug resistant Aeromonas spp. from wild animals

Conclusion This study shows that the strains tested are of potential public health concern and emphasize that wild animals are potential reservoirs of multidrug resistant strains. In fact, Aeromonas species are consistently considered opportunistic pathogens. Moreover, bacterial ability to form biofilms increases antimicrobial resistance and the propensity to cause persistent infections.
