The intestinal contents of 59 Zairese freshwater fish were examined for the presence of potential human enteric pathogens. Edwardsiella tarda and Plesiomonas shigelloides were isolated from 57 and 59% of them, respectively. For both microorganisms there was a significant difference between the isolation rates from lake and river fish: whereas E. tarda was much more frequently isolated from lake fish than was P. shigelloides, the reverse was observed for river fish. The authors hypothesize that sporadic cases of tropical diarrhea with E. tarda or P. shigelloides can be traced to contact with or consumption of freshwater fish.
对59条扎伊尔淡水鱼的肠道内容物进行了检查，以确定是否存在潜在的人类肠道病原体。迟缓爱德华氏菌和类志贺邻单胞菌分别从57%和59%的鱼中分离出来。对于这两种微生物，从湖泊鱼和河流鱼中的分离率存在显著差异：迟缓爱德华氏菌在湖泊鱼中的分离频率远高于类志贺邻单胞菌，而在河流鱼中则观察到相反的情况。作者推测，由迟缓爱德华氏菌或类志贺邻单胞菌引起的热带腹泻散发病例可能与接触或食用淡水鱼有关。
