Abstract

Over a period of 18 months Aeromonas spp. were isolated from stool specimens of 116 patients (total isolation frequency 1.6%). Isolation rates in children up to ten years of age were significantly higher only for Aeromonas caviae as compared to other age groups. Additional data are needed to assess the clinical significance to these findings.
