The Prevalence of bla VIM, bla KPC, bla NDM, bla IMP, bla SHV, bla TEM, bla CTX-M, and class I and II integrons Genes in Aeromonas hydrophila Isolated from Clinical Specimens of Qom, Iran.

The results of the study of antibiotic resistance, beta-lactamase, and carbapenemase genes showed high resistance in Aeromonas hydrophila, which raises concerns with regard to controlling infection in medical centers. Also, the study of antibiotic resistance in the presence of beta-lactamase genes showed that there was only a significant relationship between the presence of bla CTX-M gene and resistance to imipenem (p = 0.037).
