Bacteriological characteristics of abattoir effluents (wastewater), abattoir water source, and water bodies receiving abattoir wastewater were investigated in Abuja, Nigeria using the multiple-tube fermentation technique. Source of water to the abattoirs and the usage of water bodies receiving abattoir effluents were determined using questionnaires. Bacterial counts ranged from 4.8 × 106 to 5.8 × 105 /100 mL of total coliform (TC), 8.2 × 104 to 3.2 × 104/100 mL of Fecal coliform (FC), 5.2 × 104 to 2.0 × 104/100 mL of Fecal streptococcus and 1.2 × 104 to 2.0 × 103/100 mL of Escherichia coli for abattoir effluents 6.6 × 105 to 6.0 × 105/100 mL of TC, 6.2 × 104 to 1.8 × 104/100 mL of FC, 1.8 × 104 to 6.0 × 103/100 mL of F. streptococcus, and 4.8 × 103 to 6.6 × 102/100 mL of E. coli for water bodies receiving abattoir effluents 100 m downstream. TC bacteria counts for abattoir effluents exceeded recommended limit for discharge into surface water in Nigeria. No significant difference (P<0.05) was observed between bacterial counts of abattoir effluents and receiving water bodies 100 m downstream: an indication of contamination of receiving water bodies by abattoir effluents and possible public and environmental health hazards.

Penyakit  diare  merupakan  salah  satu  penyakit  yang  masih  merupakan  masalah kesehatan terbesar di Indonesia. Penyakit diare bisa disebabkan oleh beberapa faktor yaitu faktor lingkungan dan kualitas Air Bersih Oleh karena itu, keadaan lingkungan dan kualitas air bersih yang tidak baik berpengaruh terhadap timbulnya penyakit.  Desa Montop merupakan salah satu desa yang berada di kecamatan Bulagi Utara Kabupaten Banggai Kepulauan yang masyarakatnya menkonsumsi air yang bersumber dari Sumur Gali. Berdasarkan data UPTD Puskesmas Sabang Tahun 2017 terdapat kasus Kejadian Luar Biasa (KLB) penyakit diare dengan penderita 45 orang dan 1 orang dinyatakan meninggal, pada tahun 2018 data penderita diare terdapat 24 orang (Januari-Juli). Tujuan penelitian ini adalah Untuk mengetahui hubungan kualitas air sumur gali dengan kejadian penyakit Diare di Desa Montop. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian dalam bentuk survey yang bersifat observasional dengan metode pendekatan cross-sectional, yaitu suatu penelitian yang dilakukan dengan pengamatan sesaat atau dalam suatu periode waktu tertentu dan setiap subjek studi hanya dilakukan satu kali pengamatan selama penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa hasil uji kualitas air bersih berdasarkan parameter E. Coli masih memenuhi syarat kesehatan sesuai dengan Permenkes 416 Tahun 1990 tentang air bersih. Sementara, untuk parameter Total Coliform terdapat hasil yang tidak memenuhi syarat kesehatan pada Lokasi SGL 3 dan SGL 5 artinya analisis secara deskriptif ada hubungan sumber air utama dengan kejadian diare karena terdapat 2 SGL yang Total Coliform nya Tidak Memenuhi Syarat Kesehatan. Diarrhea is one of the diseases that is still the biggest health problem in Indonesia. Diarrhea can be caused by several factors, environmental factors and the quality of clean water. Therefore, environmental conditions and the quality of clean water that is not good influences the onset of the disease. Montop Village is one of the villages in the North Bulagi sub-district of Banggai Kepulauan Regency whose people consume water sourced from the Gali Well. Based on data from Sabang Health Center UPTD in 2017 there were cases of Extraordinary Events of diarrhea with 45 patients and 1 person was declared dead, in 2018 the data of diarrhea patients there were 24 people (January-July). The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of dug well water quality with the incidence of diarrheal disease in the village of Montop. This research is an observational survey with a cross-sectional approach, which is a study conducted with observations for a moment or in a certain period of time and each subject of study was only made one observation during the study. The results showed that the water quality test results based on E. Coli parameters still met health requirements in accordance with Permenkes 416 of 1990 concerning clean water. Meanwhile, for the Total Coliform parameter, there were results that did not meet health requirements at SGL 3 and SGL 5 locations, meaning that the descriptive analysis was related to the main water source with the occurrence of diarrhea because there were 2 SGLs whose Total Coliform did not meet health requirements.

Fresh aquacultured catfish fillets were obtained from three processors using different processing protocols in summer, autumn, winter, and spring and evaluated for microbial quality. Twenty freshly processed fillets were randomly selected and each fillet was placed in a sterile polyethylene bag. The fillets were transported on ice-pack overnight by air immediately after processing. Five fillets were randomly selected for microbial assays. Each fillet was weighed and an equal volume of sterile 0.1 % peptone water at 0 to 1°C was added aseptically. The fillet was massaged (or rinsed) for 120 s and the rinse was used to determine microbial quality. Aerobes (incubation at 35°C for 48 h) and psychrotrophs (incubation at 20°C for 96 h) were enumerated using 3M Petrifilm™ Aerobic Count plates. Escherichia coli (incubation at 35°C for 24 to 48 h) and total coliforms (incubation at 35°C for 24 to 48 h) were enumerated on 3M Petrifilm™ E. coli Count plates. Staphylococcus aureus counts were determined on Baird-Parker agar (incubation at 35°C for 48 h). Significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) in aerobic, psychrotrophic, total coliform, E. coli, and S. aureus counts due to temperature effects during production and variations in processing protocols were observed. E. coli and S. aureus counts were significantly different during the four seasons. E. coli and S. aureus counts were high during summer and low during winter weather. There was a significant difference (P ≤ 0.05) in aerobic, psychrotrophic, and total coliform counts among the three processors during warm weather; however, these differences were significantly (P≤ 0.05) reduced in cold weather.

The microbiological and nutrient quality of pool barb (Jatpunti), Puntius sophore collected from three local markets - Ananda bazaar, New Market and Polashi bazaar of Dhaka, Bangladesh were assessed. The investigation confirmed more or less higher microbial load in Ananda bazaar samples than the others. The microbial quality varied with market sources as total bacterial counts (TBC), total coliform counts (TCC) and faecal coliform counts (FCC) occurred in all storage period and that crossed the acceptable limit. All studied parameters except E. coli were significantly different at 7 days and 30 days of storage period and a significant difference (p < 0.05) was found in case of E. coli for all storage period where every 30 days storage showed one log reduction of bacterial count from every initial stage. The Salmonella shigella (SS) and Vibrio spp. were identified in all samples of studied local markets. An inverse relation was found between moisture and protein, moisture and fat, whereas the moisture content was increased after 30 days of freezing storage. This study concludes that the quality of P. sophore (Jatpunti) available in the studied three local markets of Dhaka city were neither satisfactory level nor to the standard for normal consumption.Bangladesh J.

Abstract The rationale for this study was to assess the physicochemical and bacteriological qualities of the Vea irrigation water and resultant effects on the quality of fresh vegetables produced in the area and associated implications for consumers’ health. A total of 45 water samples were collected from the reservoir and canals. Also, 16 vegetable samples comprising four samples each of tomatoes, carrots, spring onions, and cabbages were collected from four farms with installed irrigation systems fed by the Vea Dam. The irrigation water samples were analyzed for total coliform (TC) and fecal coliform (FC), Escherichia coli, pH, and turbidity, while the samples of vegetables were analyzed for TC and FC, and E. coli. The results showed that except for pH, the bacterial loads and turbidity of the sampled vegetables and irrigation water were above the standards of the WHO and the International Commission on Microbiological Specifications for Food. Comparatively, the samples of cabbage recorded the highest levels of microbial contamination. The study suggests that the water should be treated before being used for irrigation; consumers should ensure that vegetables are properly washed and cooked/treated before consumption; and periodic monitoring and assessment should be done to ensure that the adverse effects of these activities are forestalled.

The Salmonella presence and the microbiological quality indicators, total and fecal coliforms and coliphages of E. coli C, have been studied in a overloaded wastewater lagoon system treating urban wastewatrers of the village of Guardamar del Segura (Alicante, Spain). Classical microbiological technology to detect salmonellae was used, including pre-enrichment, enrichment, selective media plating and biochemical and serological confirmation. Water was physicochemically characterized according to COD, SS, temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen. The selective migration step through Rappaport-Vassiliadis semisolid agar medium was essential for the consistent detection of Salmonella in the different lagoon effluents. Total and fecal coliform levels of up to 105-106 MPN/100 ml were detected in the final effluent. High coliphage concentrations of 103-104 pfu/ml were also found in the effluent waters. Salmonella was always detected in 100 ml samples and eventually reached an order of value of 103 MPN/100 ml. Total coliform reduction was higher in the anaerobic ponds whereas fecal coliforms were more efficiently eliminated in the facultative (mostly “anoxic”) lagoons. Coliphage reduction was higher in the facultative lagoons when compared to the anaerobic ponds. On many occasions, no reduction or eventual increment of the concentration of salmonellae was detected in the effluents from the anaerobic ponds compared to concentrations of the patohogen in the influent raw wasterwaters. The possibility exists for a capacity of Salmonella to multiply in the anoxic phase of the wastewater treatment, but the presence of microorganisms in raw sewage waters which could maskSalmonella detection with the enrichment methodology employed cannot be ruled out.

Microbiological Data

The present study evaluated the microbiological and sanitary quality of curd cheese sold on the beaches of the Itaparica Island, Brazil, and verified whether a correlation exists between the commercialization conditions and the microbiological data. The research was performed between December 2015 and March 2017. Sixty samples of rennet-containing cheese were collected to estimate the populations of mesophylls, psychrotrophic microorganisms, mold and yeast, Staphylococcus aureus, total coliforms, and Escherichia coli. An observational analysis was performed during the collection, using a checklist to verify the sellers’ sanitary conditions and cheese marketing. A high nonconformity index was registered regarding aspects in the checklist. In the microbiological analyses, the number of mesophylls in raw and roasted samples ranged from 7,88 to 14,82 log CFU/mL, and those of psychrotrophs ranged from 2,80 to 3,84 log CFU/mL. Meanwhile, mold and yeast levels in the samples ranged from 8,06 to 5,54 log CFU/mL, S. aureus was detected at levels from 3,24 to 4,94 log CFU/mL, and the total coliform counts ranged from 4,48 to 7,18 log CFU/mL. The number of E. coli specimens ranged from 2,96 to 5,75 log CFU/mL. Microbial insecurity was noted for commercialized curd cheese, and the need for intervention was indicated.
