[Results of hygienic analyses carried out in galleys, pantries and stock-rooms aboard sea-going vessels (author's transl)].
In the supply area of 120 German and foreign sea-going vessels scratch samples were taken from fixtures and examined bacteriologically. Only a third of the samples was free from E. coli in 1 g sample material. Pathogenic germs were found only rarely.--No distinct differences were detected between German and foreign ships.--Wooden working surfaces were compared with plastic surfaces and it was found that the E. coli count of the wooden surfaces was only half as high as that of the plastic surfaces.--The external impression of cleanliness of the objects examined furnished no clues as to the bacteriological findings.
