| aeromonas hydrophila in chlorinated water supplies. | methods for the isolation and enumeration of aeromonas hydrophila in water supplies are described. examination of 286 chlorinated samples collected between july and october showed that 19% of otherwise uncontaminated waters contained aerom. hydrophila, rising to 71% of those from which escherichia coli was isolated. the isolation rate during january and february was only 7% for all samples. on the basis of these results, tap water is a likely source of the aeromonads found in human intestinal fl ... | 1985 | 2859326 |
| epidemiology of aeromonas species in a hospital. | the occurrence of aeromonas spp. in a hospital water supply, in patients and in the local community was investigated. in healthy persons outside the hospital the isolation rate was 3.6% and among hospital patients it was 6%. seven per cent of water samples yielded aeromonas strains. isolates were typed by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of sulphur-35 methionine labelled proteins of aeromonas isolates. no relationship between water and human isolates could be establishe ... | 1988 | 2896686 |
| a numerical taxonomic study of species of vibrio isolated from the aquatic environment and birds in kent, england. | a numerical taxonomic study has been carried out to confirm the identity of strains of the family vibrionaceae isolated during an ecological study. a total of 237 strains were studied including 148 from the aquatic environment, 6 from estuarine birds, 1 from sheep faeces, and 61 control cultures. duplicates of 21 of the strains were randomly selected and included to estimate test and operator error. taxonomic resemblance was estimated on the basis of 148 characters using euclidean distance. the ... | 1983 | 6654766 |
| a study of infectious intestinal disease in england: microbiological findings in cases and controls. | a study was undertaken to identify the microorganisms and toxins in stool specimens associated with infectious intestinal disease (iid) among cases in the community and presenting to general practitioners (gps) and in asymptomatic controls. population based cohorts were recruited from practice lists in 70 practices and followed for 26 weeks (cohort component). seven hundred and sixty-one cases of iid identified from the cohorts, 2893 cases who presented to gps in 34 of the practices (gp componen ... | 1999 | 10402744 |
| isolation of aeromonas spp. from canal water. | aeromonas sobria was identified from soil and canal water at the east end of london. there was a correlation between water and faecal isolates from children attending the nearby children's hospital. in view of the potential risk of enteric and non-enteric infections due to aeromonas spp, efforts are needed to ensure that canals, rivers, natural water sources and domestic water supply are free of these organisms. | 1990 | 2361702 |
| aeromonas hydrophila: an outbreak of hospital infection. | aeromonas hydrophila is a gram-negative water-borne organism widely distributed in the environment. this organism is a recognized cause of diarrhoea and an opportunist pathogen in immunosuppressed patients. an outbreak of hospital-acquired infection which included three cases of pneumonia is reported. the organism was isolated from 19 patients. | 1984 | 6085098 |
| monitoring faecal contamination of the thames estuary using a semiautomated early warning system. | the colifast early warning system, based on measuring beta-galactosidase activity (2 h method), was evaluated for monitoring the level of faecal contamination in the upper tidal thames. two trials were performed, one following heavy rain in november 2000, the next during a dry and sunny period in july 2001. in general the beta-galactosidase activity and the two coliform reference methods (recovery following membrane filtration with membrane lauryl sulphate broth (mlsb) and colilert quantitray) w ... | 2002 | 12227600 |
| characterization of oxytetracycline-resistant heterotrophic bacteria originating from hospital and freshwater fishfarm environments in england and ireland. | this ecotaxonomic study compared the antibiotic tolerance among culturable oxytetracyline-resistant (ot(r)) heterotrophic strains isolated from two aquatic environments representing human activities in health care and aquaculture, namely hospital effluents and freshwater fishfarms. using a standardized methodology, samples taken in england and ireland were analyzed to determine the antibiotic tolerance profiles of two groups of culturable ot(r) bacterial isolates at the intergeneric and intragen ... | 2000 | 11249032 |
| non-enteritic aeromonas infections in hospitalized patients. | aeromonas species were isolated from specimens other than faeces from 59 hospital inpatients over a 15 year period. of the isolates, 79.7% were regarded as clinically significant, with skin and soft tissues and blood cultures as the commonest sites of infection. of the isolates, 52.5% were hospital-acquired, and 55.9% of patients had serious underlying disease. community-acquired infections in previously healthy individuals accounted for only 13.6% of isolates. however unlike many other opportun ... | 1995 | 7499821 |
