Biofilm formation and multidrug-resistant Aeromonas spp. from wild animals

This study shows that the strains tested are of potential public health concern and emphasises that wild animals are potential reservoirs of multidrug-resistant strains. In fact, Aeromonas spp. are consistently considered opportunistic pathogens. Moreover, bacterial ability to form biofilms increases antimicrobial resistance and the propensity to cause persistent infections.
