title: Aeromonas hydrophila in chlorinated water supplies.
abstract: 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 flora.
