Twenty-four freshwater sampling sites (11 river water, 6 spring water, and 7 groundwater) were selected from 4 sampling areas located in the northern and central parts of Taiwan. A total of 125 water samples were collected during a 5-month sampling period, and the numbers of total heterotrophic bacteria, total coliforms, fecal coliforms, enterococci, Aeromonas hydrophila, and Salmonella spp. we...

Extended survival of fecal bacteria in sediment can obscure the source and extent of fecal contamination in agricultural settings. The variability in fecal coliform/fecal streptococci (FC/FS) ratios with time and discrepancies between observable fecal sources and measured FC/ FS ratios in shallow surface water from agricultural watersheds may be explained by examining FC and FS mortality rates ...

Abstract Investigation of the bacterial factors affecting three main drinking water purification stations (Al-Qurna, Al-Abbas, and Al-Buradieiah) located in various regions Basrah Governorate was done. Water samples were taken monthly from September 2019 to August 2020. stations, before after (raw treated water) all subjected microbial investigations that included estimation total viable counts...

background: contamination of swimming pools’ water can lead to the transfer of different diseases to humans. the aim of this study was to investigate the quality of water in kerman swimming pools. methods: in this cross-sectional study, sampling from swimming pools was performed before and after swimming, every week. total number of samples collected was 150 samples. samples were investigated i...

Abstract Watershed management is important, especially to water management. River pollution in the upstream has an impact on quality midstream and downstream. Boyong part of Code which three dominant land uses. Land use activities cause faecal from animals or humans waste river bodies. This can presence coliform bacteria rivers, both Total Coliform (TC) Fecal (FC). study aims determine effect n...

The number and properties of drug-resistant coliform bacteria in hospital and city sewage were compared. There was little difference in the counts of organisms with nontransferable resistance to one or more of 13 commonly used drugs. An average of 26% of coliforms in hospital waste water had transferable resistance to at least one of the drugs ampicillin, chloramphenicol, streptomycin, sulfonam...

Background: The quality of drinking water supplied to hospitals is directly related the health services provided people.
 Objective: To assess chemical and microbial standards four public on Baghdad's eastern side.
 Patients Methods: In this study, 100 samples were collected from taps hospitals. Scientific methods followed collect in clean, sterile bottles. chemophysical characteristi...
