Aeromonas veronii biovar sobria (previous name: Aeromonas sobria), Aeromonas caviae and Aeromonas hydrophila are of clinical relevance.

Aeromonas spp. may trigger diarrhoea, infections of skin, soft tissue and surgical sites, and in rare cases also bacteraemia and bloodstream infection.

Transmission mainly occurs via contaminated water and food.
