The phenotypic characteristics of 89 Aeromonas strains, most of which had been isolated from feces, were examined. Eighty-two percent of the isolates could be placed into one of four groups on the basis of five tests. The relationship of these groups to the three motile species of Aeromonas (Aeromonas caviae, A. hydrophila, and A. sobria) that have been isolated from humans is unclear. Because the means for identification of Aeromonas strains to the species level appear to be imprecise and because the role of each of these species in human diarrhea is unclear at this time, we recommend that identification of enteric Aeromonas isolates to the species level not be done routinely.
对89株气单胞菌菌株的表型特征进行了检测,其中大部分菌株是从粪便中分离得到的。根据五项检测,82%的分离株可归为四个组之一。这些组与已从人类分离出的三种运动型气单胞菌(豚鼠气单胞菌、嗜水气单胞菌和温和气单胞菌)之间的关系尚不清楚。由于将气单胞菌菌株鉴定到种水平的方法似乎并不精确,且目前这些菌种在人类腹泻中的作用尚不清楚,我们建议不要常规地将肠道气单胞菌分离株鉴定到种水平。
