摘要
Aeromonas hydrophila is a potentially pathogenic micro-organism and has been isolated from cases of gastroenteritis, urinary-tract infections, osteomyelitis, septicaemia, meningitis, and wound infections. It has many features in common with members of the Enterobacteriaceae, especially Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species and its presence in samples of faeces may therefore be overlooked. A property that distinguishes Aeromonas spp. from the Enterobacteriaceae is the oxidase reaction; this is positive in the former. A. hydrophila does not require enriched media and can be isolated on the media used for Enterobacteriaceae, for example Salmonella-Shigella Agar or MacConkey's agar. On these media the colonies of Aeromonas cannot be distinguished by inspection from those of some E. coli. A new selective medium containing Pril, xylose, and ampicillin is suggested for the isolation of Aeromonas hydrophila from faeces.
