Methods for the isolation and enumeration of Aeromonas hydrophila in water supplies are described. Examination of 286 chlorinated samples collected between July and October showed that 19% of otherwise uncontaminated waters contained Aerom. hydrophila, rising to 71% of those from which Escherichia coli was isolated. The isolation rate during January and February was only 7% for all samples. On the basis of these results, tap water is a likely source of the aeromonads found in human intestinal flora.
本文描述了在供水系统中分离和计数嗜水气单胞菌的方法。对7月至10月期间采集的286份经过氯化处理的样本进行检测发现，在其他方面未受污染的水体中，19%含有嗜水气单胞菌，而在分离出大肠杆菌的水体中，这一比例升至71%。1月和2月期间，所有样本的分离率仅为7%。基于这些结果，自来水很可能是人类肠道菌群中发现的气单胞菌的来源。
