[Frequency of Aeromonas species in the stools of healthy and diarrheic patients].
During two test periods (summer 1985 and January-August 1986) a total of 7713 stool specimens were examined for the occurrence of Aeromonas spp. The isolation rate of the asymptomatic group was about 0.3%, the same rate was found in adults with diarrhea. In the stool specimens of 364 children 8 Aeromonas spp. could be found. A. caviae was isolated in most cases of diarrhea. Data obtained suggest that it seems to be useful to screen all diarrhoic stools of children for the occurrence of Aeromonas.
