contaminated marine wounds--the risk of acquiring acute bacterial infection from marine recreational beaches.an animal model was used to determine the potential for causing wound infections of bacteria isolated from marine recreational beaches in hong kong. water samples were characterized physically, chemically and bacteriologically and used to inoculate artificially-induced wounds in rats. morbidity and mortality correlated significantly (p < 0.01) with macconkey plate counts and faecal coliform counts (membrane filtration) and inversely with salinity of the water. the majority of deaths were due to ...19921447057
aeromonas septicaemia in hong kong species distribution and associated disease.during a 5-year study of 2211 patients with clinically significant positive blood cultures in hong kong. aeromonas spp. were isolated in 40 cases. among 26 episodes in which a single species was isolated. 17 (65.4%) were identified as aeromonas hydrophila. 8 (30.8%) as a. sobria and one (3.8%) as a. caviae. there were 14 episodes with a mixture of species. of these, nine (64.3%) were identified as a. hydrophila, two (14.3%) as a. sobria, and two (14.3%) as a. caviae. one (7.1%) was an infection ...19957673749
influence of temperature, salinity and ph on the growth of environmental aeromonas and vibrio species isolated from mai po and the inner deep bay nature reserve ramsar site of hong kong.four environmental bacterial isolates including aeromonas hydrophila mp-3, a. salmonicida mp-4, vibrio vulnificus mp-2 and v. cholerae mp-1 isolated from sediment and water of mai po nature reserve of hong kong were examined for their responses to temperature, ph and salinity under laboratory conditions in this study. v. cholerae mp-1 was found to resist vibriostatic agent o/129 at concentration of 10 microg/ml. in addition, bacterial growth under test conditions was measured and the results wer ...200515678554
