However, other less prevalent species such as Aeromonas trota, are also described from clinical samples. Based on its low incidence, the latter species can be regarded as rare and it is the only Aeromonas species susceptible to ampicillin. From the taxonomic point of view, A. trota is considered a synonym of the species Aeromonas enteropelogenes. The objective of this study is to present a new clinical case associated with A. trota in order to increase the knowledge about this species. The strain was recovered from the feces of a 69-year-old patient with a diarrheal syndrome and peritoneal psammocarcinoma. The preliminary identification as Aeromonas sp. was obtained with the API 20E, but it was characterized as Aeromonas jandei and also as Aeromonas enteropelogenes with different scores with the matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight (MALDI-TOF). Based on the sequence of the rpoD gene, it was confirmed to be A. trota. The antimicrobial resistance pattern showed that the strain was susceptible to ampicillin, penicillins in combination with beta-lactamase inhibitors, quinolones, carbapenems, aminoglycosides and cephalosporins, except cephalothin. In conclusion, the recognition of an Aeromonas strain susceptible to ampicillin should alert the clinical microbiologist of the possible involvement of this rare species. Furthermore, the MALDI-TOF database should be updated indicating that the species A. enteropelogenes, is a synonym of A. trota.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/microorganisms8030399","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,13]],"date-time":"2020-03-13T08:58:59Z","timestamp":1584089939000},"page":"399","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["A Case of Aeromonas trota in an Immunocompromised Patient with Diarrhea"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Ana","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Bravo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Microbiolog\u00eda, Departamento de Ciencias M\u00e9dicas B\u00e1sicas, Facultad de Medicina y Ciencias de la Salud, IISPV, Universidad Rovira i Virgili, Reus 43201, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6658-3603","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabel","family":"Fort-Gallifa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Reus-Laboratori de Refer\u00e8ncia de Tarragona i Terres de l\u2019Ebre, Reus 43201, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frederic","family":"Ballester","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Reus-Laboratori de Refer\u00e8ncia de Tarragona i Terres de l\u2019Ebre, Reus 43201, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Isabel","family":"Pujol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Microbiolog\u00eda, Departamento de Ciencias M\u00e9dicas B\u00e1sicas, Facultad de Medicina y Ciencias de la Salud, IISPV, Universidad Rovira i Virgili, Reus 43201, Spain"},{"name":"Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Reus-Laboratori de Refer\u00e8ncia de Tarragona i Terres de l\u2019Ebre, Reus 43201, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frederic","family":"Gomez-Bertomeu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Microbiolog\u00eda, Departamento de Ciencias M\u00e9dicas B\u00e1sicas, Facultad de Medicina y Ciencias de la Salud, IISPV, Universidad Rovira i Virgili, Reus 43201, Spain"},{"name":"Hospital Universitari Joan XXIII-Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Reus-Laboratori de Refer\u00e8ncia de Tarragona i Terres de l\u2019Ebre- Facultat de Medicina i Ci\u00e8ncies de la Salut, IISPV, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Reus 43204, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mariola","family":"Dom\u00ednguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Geriatr\u00eda, Hospital de la Santa Creu i Jes\u00fas, Tortosa 43590, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miquel","family":"Mic\u00f3","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratori de Refer\u00e8ncia de Catalunya, Barcelona 08820, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eva","family":"Alcoceba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratori de Refer\u00e8ncia de Catalunya, Barcelona 08820, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Josep Maria","family":"Sim\u00f3-Sis\u00f3","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Universitari Sant Joan de Reus-Laboratori de Refer\u00e8ncia de Tarragona i Terres de l\u2019Ebre, Reus 43201, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria Jos\u00e9","family":"Figueras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Unidad de Microbiolog\u00eda, Departamento de Ciencias M\u00e9dicas B\u00e1sicas, Facultad de Medicina y Ciencias de la Salud, IISPV, Universidad Rovira i Virgili, Reus 43201, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"35","DOI":"10.1128\/CMR.00039-09","article-title":"The genus Aeromonas: Taxonomy, pathogenicity, and infection","volume":"23","author":"Janda","year":"2010","journal-title":"Clin.
