气单胞菌属的流行。志贺邻单胞菌是在尼日利亚拉各斯大学教学医院医学微生物学和寄生虫学系肠道实验室就诊的患者中测定的。在为期 12 个月的研究中（1986 年 10 月至 1987 年 9 月），气单胞菌属 (Aeromonas spp.)从 2350 名腹泻患者中的 53 名 (2.26%) 中分离到，而从 500 名无腹泻患者中仅分离出 2 名 (0.4%) (p < 0.01)。同样，从 16 名腹泻患者 (0.68%) 中分离出志贺拟杆菌，而没有从对照组中分离出 (p > 0.05)。与气单胞菌相关的腹泻的季节性、年龄和性别分布。本研究中的志贺拟杆菌与尼日利亚其他已知肠道病原体相关的腹泻相似。这两个物种都可能在该环境中急性腹泻病的病因学中发挥作用。
The prevalence of Aeromonas spp. and Plesiomonas shigelloides was determined in patients attending the enteric laboratory of the Department of Medical Microbiology and Parasitology, Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Nigeria. During the 12-month study (October 1986-September 1987), Aeromonas spp. were isolated from 53 (2.26%) of 2350 patients with diarrhoea and only 2 (0.4%) of 500 patients without diarrhoea (p < 0.01). Similarly, P. shigelloides was isolated from 16 (0.68%) patients with diarrhoea and none of the controls (p > 0.05). The seasonality, age and sex distribution of diarrhoea associated with Aeromonas spp. and P. shigelloides in this study were similar to those of diarrhoea associated with other recognised enteropathogens in Nigeria. Both species may play a role in the aetiology of acute diarrhoeal disease in that environment.
