title: [Distribution of pathogenic enterobacteria in the water of open reservoirs].
abstract: Investigations carried out indicated that the main source of microbial contamination of open reservoirs were effluents often drained without any purification and disinfection. Salmonellae were isolated in 10.6 +/- 0.88% of the water samples examined in the Southern regions of the country. Isolation of pathogenic enterobacteria from the water of open reservoirs was seasonal, with the maximal percentage in winter and in spring, this being connected with delay of self-purification processes in the cold seasons of the year. Serovars isolated from water and patients proved to be identical. There was no direct correlation between the coli index and the isolation of pathogenic enterobacteria.
