强台风过后，一具腹部开放、胸膜腔腐烂的女性尸体被冲到海滩上。尸检结果无法确定因浸出和腐败而死亡的原因。器官中硅藻的总体数量和类型表明需要吸入低盐度的淡水或咸水。然而，由于开放空腔的污染，这一点无法得到证实。我们使用对我们报道的细菌学方法的修改，同时研究了肝脏、肾脏和肺匀浆中浮游细菌的存在。在这些器官中均发现了淡水浮游细菌志贺邻单胞菌，但尽管尸体被发现时的情况却无法检测到海洋浮游细菌。淡水浮游细菌的存在强化了硅藻测试的结果，我们得出结论，该受害者是在低盐度的淡水或咸水中溺水身亡。 (C) 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. 保留所有权利。
A decomposed female body with an open abdomen and pleural cavity washed up on a beach after a powerful typhoon. Autopsy findings could not determine the cause of death because of leaching and putrefaction. Numbers and types of diatoms in organs overall, suggested the aspiration of fresh or brackish water with low salinity. However, this could not be confirmed because of contamination via the open cavities. We simultaneously investigated the presence of bacterioplankton in liver, kidney and lung homogenates using a modification of our reported bacteriological method. The freshwater bacterioplankton Plesiomonas shigelloides was identified in each of these organs, but marine bacterioplankton were undetectable despite the circumstances under which the body was discovered. The presence of freshwater bacterioplankton reinforced the results of the diatom test, and we concluded that this victim had died of drowning in fresh or brackish water with low salinity.
