Popis:	The Moore swab method was shown to be a practical and sensitive technique for the isolation of Vibrio cholerae from sewage. In each of three instances in which cholera patients lived in homes connected to municipal sewers, V. cholerae was isolated from the community sewage plant intake at the time of the patients illness. Sewer systems became negative within 1 day after patients were treated with tetracycline. Sewer surveillance using the Moore swab also found evidence of infections occurring in areas where surveillance of diarrheal illness failed to detect cholera. Culturing community sewage by the Moore swab method proved to be an economical and effective way of determining areas where V. cholerae infections were occurring.
