There have been no reports on <jats:italic>Aeromonas hydrophila<\/jats:italic> complex (<jats:italic>A. hydrophila<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>A. caviae<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>A. veronii<\/jats:italic>) in the Caribbean to date. Our aim was to describe clinical and bacteriological features in patients presenting with such bacteremia in Martinique and Guadeloupe. During a 14-year period, we retrospectively identified 37 patients. The mean age was 55 years and in 89% of cases underlying disease such as digestive diseases, cutaneous wounds, and malignancy were identified. One case was related to severe strongyloidiasis and one with snake bite. Polymicrobial bacteremia was identified in 38%, essentially with <jats:italic>Enterobacteriaceae<\/jats:italic>. All <jats:italic>Aeromonas<\/jats:italic> isolates were resistant to amoxicillin but extended-spectrum beta-lactam and fluoroquinolone were active against more than 95%. During hospitalization 10 patients died (27%). Older age, occurrence of multiorgan failure, and impaired renal function were associated with in-hospital mortality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.2010.10-0063","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,29]],"date-time":"2010-10-29T11:28:05Z","timestamp":1288351685000},"page":"1123-1127","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Bacteremia Caused by Aeromonas hydrophila Complex in the Caribbean Islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe"],"prefix":"10.4269","volume":"83","author":[{"given":"Patrick","family":"Hochedez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emilie","family":"Hope-Rapp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Claude","family":"Olive","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Muriel","family":"Nicolas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gilles","family":"Beaucaire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andr\u00e9","family":"Cabi\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2795","reference":[{"key":"R1","series-title":"Clin Microbiol Rev","first-page":"35","article-title":"The genus Aeromonas: taxonomy, pathogenicity, and infection","volume":"23","author":"Janda","year":"2010"},{"key":"R2","series-title":"Rev Infect Dis","first-page":"314","article-title":"Bacteremia caused by Aeromonas species in hospitalized cancer patients","volume":"7","author":"Harris","year":"1985"},{"key":"R3","series-title":"Clin Infect Dis","first-page":"69","article-title":"Aeromonas hydrophila infections of skin and soft tissue: report of 11 cases and review","volume":"16","author":"Gold","year":"1993"},{"key":"R4","series-title":"J Infect","first-page":"267","article-title":"Clinical features and therapeutic implications of 104 episodes of monomicrobial Aeromonas bacteraemia","volume":"40","author":"Ko","year":"2000"},{"key":"R5","series-title":"J Infect","first-page":"241","article-title":"Aeromonas septicaemia in Hong Kong species distribution and associated disease","volume":"30","author":"Duthie","year":"1995"},{"key":"R6","series-title":"Clin Infect Dis","first-page":"574","article-title":"Spectrum of extraintestinal disease due to Aeromonas species in tropical Queensland, Australia.","volume":"16","author":"Kelly","year":"1993"},{"key":"R7","series-title":"Clin Infect Dis","first-page":"1084","article-title":"Outbreak of Aeromonas hydrophila wound infections associated with mud football","volume":"38","author":"Vally","year":"2004"},{"key":"R8","series-title":"Clin Infect Dis","first-page":"77","article-title":"Aeromonas species in septicemia: laboratory characteristics and clinical observations","volume":"19","author":"Janda","year":"1994"},{"key":"R9","series-title":"Antibiogram Committee of the French Society for Microbiology.
