Abstract

Salmonella from the tail water of the Don river was shown to be detected in 31.4% of samples with an average index of 23.5. Under experimental conditions, revealed long-term survival of Salmonella in the water exceeded in most of the experiments terms of preservation of E. coli and E. faecalis. The calculated high level of microbial risk of emergence of intestinal infections suggests the possibility ofwater route ofsalmonellosis.
