A Case of Severe Skin and Soft Tissue Infection in the Left Upper Limb Caused by Aeromonas veronii
We report a case of severe infection by Aeromonas veronii in the left upper limb caused by accidentally injuring the left thumb while cutting a fish. Bacterial culture was performed to confirm the pathogen and the whole-genome sequencing revealed the drug resistance genes and virulence genes further. The drug sensitivity test showed that Aeromonas veronii was sensitive to cephalospo rins, aminoglycosides, and quinolones but resistant to penicillin and carbapenems.
