Mortality analysis of Aeromonas hydrophila infection in hepato-biliary pancreatic surgery: Multicenter retrospective observational study.

Isolation of A hydrophila was low in our cases of HBP surgery, but the condition of some patients deteriorated rapidly by this infection. Although there could be several bacterial infections during management of HBP surgery, A hydrophila should not be overlooked. Preparation of appropriate prophylactic antibiotics may prevent or reduce mortality.
