Summary:Highlights • Data from English language literature search from 1995 to 2014 of Medline/PubMed. • Aeromonas spp. were isolated from diarrheal children, animals, foods and waters. • Cephalosporins and fluoroquinolones are effective against Aeromonas infections. • More studies employing molecular testing methods are required in future. • Microbiologists in the region should look for these organisms in different sources.
