==Characterisitics==
The bacteria are motile, straight rods. They are catalase and oxidase positive and are facultative anaerobes. They are able to grow on non-enriched media, although a NaCl supplementation is required for ''Vibrio'' species. ''Aeromonas'' morphologically resemble the [[''Enterobacteriaceae'']] family.

''Aeromonas'' can be identified by isolation from lesions. The bacteria is widespread in environments
''Aeromonas'' can be identified by isolation from lesions. The bacteria is widespread in environments and can therefore be difficult to detect.
==Treatment==
Treat with antibiotics including Cephalosporins.
