These isolations have been made from several clinical materials, such as pus, bile, faeces, urine, sputum, arthritic exudates and spinal fluid, and only 10 isolations from blood (1) have been reported.The Kasturba Hospital at Manipal, a coastal town located on the southwest coast of India on the Arabian Sea, caters to a rural population mostly employed in seafishing and agriculture. From the patients admitted to this hospital,Aeromonasspecies have been isolated from six patients who presented...References1. VON GRAEVENITZMENSCH AA: The genus Aeromonas in human bacteriology.
