Analyses of drinking water taken from central and individual water supplies in Southern India (Idukki/Kerala) showed bacterial counts of 10(3)-10(6). E. coli were found in 11% and 28% of the samples. Aeromonads were identified more frequently than E. coli at 44% in central and 38% in individual water supplies. Due to this high rate of contamination, Aeromonas spp. must be considered as a possible cause of diarrhoea and other infections in this area.
对取自印度南部（伊杜基/喀拉拉邦）集中供水和分散供水的饮用水进行的分析显示，细菌计数为10³ - 10⁶ 。在11%和28%的样本中发现了大肠杆菌。气单胞菌的检出率高于大肠杆菌，在集中供水中为44%，在分散供水中为38%。由于这种高污染率，气单胞菌属必须被视为该地区腹泻和其他感染的可能病因。
