| Research Abstract |
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.
