A seasonal variation in nosocomial Aeromonas hydrophila infection was correlated with the number of aeromonas in the hospital water supply. The high summer prevalence of A. hydrophila infection coincided with periods when water counts from storage tanks were highest. The waterborne origin of these infections highlights the importance of maintaining clean water supplies, especially where storage tanks are used. Monitoring A. hydrophila in hospital water, particularly during the summer months, may prove helpful.
医院嗜水气单胞菌感染的季节性变化与医院供水系统中气单胞菌的数量相关。嗜水气单胞菌感染在夏季的高发病率与储水箱中菌数最高的时期相吻合。这些感染的水源性突出了保持供水清洁的重要性，特别是在使用储水箱的地方。监测医院用水中的嗜水气单胞菌，尤其是在夏季月份，可能会有所帮助。
