[Bacteria of the genus Aeromonas as the causative agents of saprophytic infection].
The bacteriological study of feces from 458 patients with acute enteric diseases revealed that in 3.2% of cases (in summer in 8.1% of cases) the disease was caused by Aeromonas. In Aeromonas strains isolated from river water in the Volga delta, from fish and from raw meat the same pathogenicity factors occurred as in strains isolated from patients (hemolysin, DNA-ase, protease, lecithinase, amylase, adhesins, capacity of binding Congo red).
