在1964年香港仔伤寒爆发期间和之后，对下水道擦洗方案的实验室方面进行了描述。结果进行了讨论，并提出了伤寒沙门氏菌的分离方法相对不敏感的原因。初步得出结论，在大城市的普遍下水道擦洗不太可能是很有帮助的跟踪未被发现的排泄物的S。在伤寒大爆发期间和之后立即发生的伤寒。本研究实验室方面的费用，包括工作人员工资、设备、媒体等，作者希望向I博士表示感谢。A. G.麦奎恩医学博士Aberdeen及其员工，包括H。B。我谨此向总卫生督察帕里及全体职员致谢，感谢他们在整个计划中积极合作。同时也感谢B博士。埃克塞特公共卫生实验室的摩尔博士; S.感谢伦敦肠道参考实验室的安德森博士对大量分离株进行了“噬菌体分型”，感谢伦敦沙门氏菌参考实验室的琼·泰勒博士协助对沙门氏菌属进行分型。与世隔绝特别感谢我们的实验室技术人员和其他工作人员在调查期间给予的积极支持。
Laboratory aspects of a programme of sewer swabbing during and after the Aberdeen typhoid fever outbreak, 1964, have been described. Results were discussed and reasons suggested for the relative insensitivity of methods employed in the isolation of Salmonella typhi. It was tentatively concluded that generalized sewer swabbing in a large city was not likely to be very helpful in tracing undetected excreters of S. typhi during and immediately after a major typhoid fever outbreak. The cost of the laboratory side of this investigation, for staff salaries, equipment, media, etc., was somewhat over £7000.The authors wish to express thanks to Dr I. A. G. MacQueen, M.O.H., Aberdeen, and his staff including Mr H. B. Parry, Chief Sanitary Inspector and staff, for willing and helpful co-operation throughout this programme. Grateful acknowledgement is also made to Dr B. Moore of the Public Health Laboratory, Exeter; to Dr E. S. Anderson of the Enteric Reference Laboratory, London, for ‘phage typing’ the numerous isolations and to Dr Joan Taylor of the Salmonella Reference Laboratory, London, for assistance in typing Salmonella spp. isolated. Especial thanks are due to our laboratory technicians and other staff for the willing support given during the investigation.
