Aeromonas spp. including A. hydrophila, A. sobria, and A. caviae, were recovered from the feces of 88% of diarrheic Egyptian children. In contrast, only 45% of nondiarrheic children contained Aeromonas spp. A probable source of Aeromonas spp. is from drinking water inasmuch as nine out of ten samples analysed from the district of Cairo in which the children resided tested positive for Aeromonas spp. Enterotoxigenicity of the isolates from various sources was tested. 33% of the diarrheic samples produced enterotoxin whereas 47% of the nondiarrheic and 56% of the tap water strains produced enterotoxin.
包括嗜水气单胞菌、温和气单胞菌和豚鼠气单胞菌在内的气单胞菌属，从88%腹泻的埃及儿童粪便中分离得到。相比之下，只有45%的非腹泻儿童携带气单胞菌属。气单胞菌属的一个可能来源是饮用水，因为在儿童居住的开罗地区分析的十分之九的样本中气单胞菌属检测呈阳性。对来自各种来源的分离株进行了肠毒素产生能力测试。33%的腹泻样本产生肠毒素，而47%的非腹泻样本和56%的自来水菌株产生肠毒素。
