ABSTRACT
Aeromonas is a bacteria genus reported as an emerging pathogen; due to
its ability to generate infectious diseases that affect the gastrointestinal
system, the circulatory system and some soft tissues of immunocompromised
individuals, older adults and infants. Also,
Aeromonas is
an opportunistic pathogen of mammals and fish with various virulence
factors. This genus proliferates in multiple environments such as soil,
water, and on different hosts. This bibliographic review aims to describe
the metabolic and genetic processes that give the genus
Aeromonas
resistance to antibiotics, the ability to form a biofilm, genes regulated
by
Quorum Sensing (QS), and horizontal gene transfer. In addition,
it discusses some characteristics that position
Aeromonas infection
as a public health problem. The exhaustive review of the genus
Aeromonas was carried out in the databases of the National Center for
Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and the Multidisciplinary Institute
of Digital Publications (MDPI) from 2017 to date and the following
search criteria were considered: virulence factors, antibiotic resistance,
biofilm formation, and horizontal gene transfer. The investigation
indicated that
Aeromonas presents several extracellular, enzymatic,
and structural virulence factors; moreover, it is resistant to antibiotics
such as beta-lactams, tetracyclines, and macrolides, and it has several
genes that give it this resistance. Likewise, the genus
Aeromonas can
form biofilm, and it has three QS systems.
