Traveler's @entity294 is the most common health problem of international travelers. We determined the prevalence of Aeromonas spp. associated with traveler's @entity294 and analyzed the geographic distribution, clinical features, and antimicrobial susceptibility. Aeromonas spp. were isolated as a cause of traveler's @entity294 in 18 (2%) of 863 @entity1 . A. veronii biotype sobria was isolated in nine @entity1 , A. caviae in seven @entity1 , and A. jandaei and A. hydrophila in one @entity1 each. Aeromonas spp. were isolated with a similar prevalence in Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Watery and persistent @entity294 , @entity221 , and abdominal cramps were common complaints. All strains were resistant to @entity869 ; showed variable resistance to @entity2755 , @entity803 , and @entity799 ; and were susceptible to @entity3524 , @entity2177 , and @entity802 . The persistence of symptoms made antimicrobial treatment necessary.
