The isolation and identification of different Aeromonas species was done on different media and on the basis of morophological, cultural characters and biochemical tests.respectively. Out of 332 samples 38 samples were found positive with Aeromonas species. Aeromonas hydrophila, A. caviae and A. sobria were isolated from different food samples. A. hydrophila was commonly isolated from different meat and fish foods samples. A.sobria and A. caviae were isolated from fish and chicken meat samples repectively. The incidence of A. sobria infection was very low. Chevon harboured no infection of Aeromonas.
