Abstract
Recently organisms resembling Aeromonas hydrophila were isolated from human diarrheal cases and from marine and estuarine environment. These organisms are tentatively designated as group F vibrios. Live cells of 23 strains isolated from different sources were tested for their enterotoxicity in the adult rabbit ileal loop model. All but 2 caused fluid accumulation comparable to that obtained with Vibrio cholerae 569B. An inoculum of 104 viable bacteria could give rise to gut loop reaction. Culture filtrates of the 19 strains tested including 1 giving negative reaction with live cells also caused accumulation of fluid in loops.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
