title: Isolation of Aeromonas spp. from canal water.
abstract: 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.
