TI  - Incidence of non-01 Vibrio cholerae and Aeromonas spp. in fresh water in 
      Araraquara, Brazil.
PG  - 28-31
AB  - The occurrence of Aeromonas spp., Vibrio cholerae, and Plesiomonas shigelloides 
      in fresh water from various sources in Araraquara, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil was 
      determined. Samples from ten distinct irrigation systems used in vegetable 
      cultivation, from five distinct streams, from two reservoirs, from one artificial 
      lake, and from three distinct springs were analyzed. All isolates were serotyped 
      and tested for hemolysin, cytotoxin, heat-stable (ST) and heat-labile (LT) 
      enterotoxins production; presence of plasmid; autoagglutination and drug 
      resistance. V. cholerae isolates were also tested for cholera enterotoxin (CT) 
      production, and Aeromonas isolates for suicide phenomenon. No P. shigelloides was 
      found. V. cholerae non 01 was found in five irrigation water samples and in three 
      stream samples. Aeromonas sp. were isolated in two samples of irrigation water, 
      in three streams, and in one reservoir. All the V. cholerae and Aeromonas 
      isolates were positive for beta-hemolysin production, and all Aeromonas isolates 
      were positive for suicide phenomenon; cytotoxic activities were observed in two 
      Aeromonas strains. Cholera enterotoxin was not found in eight V. cholerae non-01 
      isolates tested by the Y-1 mouse adrenal cell. All isolates were also negative 
      for the other virulence markers. V. cholerae isolates were found to be sensitive 
      to the majority of drugs tested, while Aeromonas strains presented multiple drug 
      resistance.
