On 16 February 2002, a total of 26 people presented to the emergency department of the local hospital in the rural town of Collie in southwest Western Australia with many infected scratches and pustules distributed over their bodies. All of the patients had participated in a "mud football" competition the previous day, in which there had been ~100 participants. One patient required removal of an infected thumbnail, and another required surgical debridement of an infected toe. Aeromonas hydrophila was isolated from all 3 patients from whom swab specimens were obtained. To prepare the mud football fields, a paddock was irrigated with water that was pumped from an adjacent river during the 1-month period before the competition. A. hydrophila was subsequently isolated from a water sample obtained from the river. This is the first published report of an outbreak of A. hydrophila wound infections associated with exposure to mud.
2002年2月16日，西澳大利亚州西南部乡村小镇科利当地医院的急诊科共接待了26名患者，他们身上有许多感染的抓痕和脓疱。所有患者前一天都参加了一场“泥地足球”比赛，当时约有100人参赛。一名患者需要切除感染的拇指甲，另一名患者需要对感染的脚趾进行手术清创。从采集拭子标本的所有3名患者中均分离出嗜水气单胞菌。为准备泥地足球场，在比赛前1个月期间，用从相邻河流抽取的水灌溉了一块围场。随后从该河流采集的水样中分离出嗜水气单胞菌。这是第一份关于与接触泥浆相关的嗜水气单胞菌伤口感染暴发的发表报告。
