Preliminary study of the enzyme immunoassay using bacterioplankton for diagnosis of drowning

我们测量了从海洋（n=15）、河口附近（n=8）、河流（淡水，n=14）和浴缸（n=4）以及在水生环境附近发现的非溺水受害者（n=18）中提取的尸体血液中的浮游细菌。结果表明，浸泡尸体中大量浮游细菌（海水中的弧菌和光细菌，淡水中的气单胞菌）的存在可以支持溺水死亡的结论。因此，我们对嗜水气单胞菌的酶免疫测定方法进行了研究。

We measured bacterioplankton in blood from cadavers retrieved from the sea (n=15), near estuaries (n=8), rivers (fresh water, n=14) and from bathtubs (n=4) as well as from non-drowned victims (n=18) discovered near aquatic environments. The results suggested that the presence of numerous bacterioplankton (Vibrio and Photobacterium in seawater, Aeromonas in freshwater) in immersed cadavers could support a conclusion of death by drowning. Therefore, we investigated about enzyme immunoassay for Aeromonas hydrophila.
