  • Descrição: Aeromonas spp. are associated with seafood‐related outbreaks worldwide. In seafood industry, shellfish play a major role in global seafood production. With this emerging trend of shellfish consumption, shellfish‐related bacterial infections are being reported frequently. Aeromonas spp. are natural contaminants found in shellfish. Although 36 species have been identified, some species including Aeromonas hydrophila, Aeromonas caviae and Aeromonas veronii biotype sobria have dragged major attention as foodborne pathogenic bacteria. The ability to elaborate a variety of virulence factors of Aeromonas spp. contributes to the pathogenic activities. Also, emerging antimicrobial resistance in Aeromonas spp. has become a huge challenge in seafood industry. Furthermore, multidrug resistance increases the risk of consumer health. Studies have supplied pieces of evidence about the emerging health risk of Aeromonas spp. isolated from seafood. Therefore, the present review was intended to highlight the prevalence, virulence and antimicrobial resistance of Aeromonas spp. isolated from various types of shellfish. Significance and Impact of the Study: This study summarized the virulence and antimicrobial resistance in Aeromonas spp. associated with shellfish. This review may help to increase consumer awareness about the possible health risk of shellfish borne Aeromonas spp. infections and emphasizes the importance of alternative or regulated control methods in Aeromonas spp. infections as most of the antimicrobials are less effective against them.
