Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The bacteria belonging to the genus Aeromonas are a very diverse group of microorganisms, represented by many species commonly found in the aquatic environment. Most are conditionally pathogenic microorganisms for fish, causing, under favorable environmental conditions and a decrease in the fish immune system, health disorders of varying severity, including the death of both farmed and ornamental species. Nowadays, antibiotic therapy is used to combat Aeromonas infections in fish. However, efforts to treat diseased fish are becoming more and more ineffective due to the development of drug resistance. Therefore, the interest of the veterinary community in this topic has grown recently, becoming an important element of scientific and public debate.
In this Special Issue, we intend to explore Aeromonas infection and therapy in fish through a series of scientific articles focusing on various aspects related to the etiology of Aeromonas infections and the course of the disease, prevention, and treatment, with particular emphasis on drug resistance and their development mechanisms.
Dr. Agnieszka Pekala-Safinska
