[DISTRIBUTION OF BACTERIA OF THE KLEBSIELLA STRAIN IN WATER OBJECTS AND THEIR VALUE IN DEVELOPING OF THE WATER CAUSED ACUTE INTESTINAL INFECTIONS].

The wide circulation of Klebsiella bacteria in water ofwater objects of different climatic zones of Russia and various function is established. So bacteria of the Klebsiella strain are in superficial sources of the centralized water supply depending on extent of their biological and chemical pollution; underground waters at the unprotected water-bearing horizons; in drinking water at insufficiently effective system of its cleaning and disinfecting. Klebsiella circulating in water was shown to keep properties of pathogenicity and a virulence, possess resistance both to modern preparations and disinfecting agents (chlorine, an ultraviolet to radiation).

[STUDY OF THE IMPACT OF CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ON THE VIABILITY OF THE SALMONELLA BACTERIA IN WATER FOR THE DETECTION OF ITS EPIDEMIC POTENTIAL].

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.

[The importance of sanitary microbiological indices in the evaluation of epidemiological safety of water use in conditions of chemical contamination of water].

The increasing chemicalization of production and life leads to the pollution of water bodies by chemicals, the effect of which on the micro - and macro - organisms is poorly understood. This section of the study in sanitary bacteriology is becoming ever more topical and is an important task of modern hygienic science. One of complicacies of the study of the problem is related with the fact that the presence of only experimental data fails to be sufficient, as the impact of any given chemical substance on different bacteria in the experiment does not mean that under natural conditions, similar results will be obtained.

[study in the experimental conditions of pesticide action on microorganisms characterizing sanitary-epidemiological safety of reservoirs].

The paper presents experimental data on the pesticides action (molinate (OrdramA), Dinitroortocresolum and chlorophos) at concentrations of 0.01 mg /l to 10 mg/l on sanitary-indicative (TBC, total coliform bacteria, E. coli, E.

[Comparative assessment of sanitary and epidemic importance of indicator coliform indices of drinking water quality].

The used methodology of the scientific substantiation of indicators is in the establishment of the conformity of laws of vital activity of indicator and pathogenic microorganisms in the real conditions of the action of the complex of factors, including disinfecting agents. In the one water sample simultaneously there were determined both the general indicator (GICB), thermotolerant (TTCB), glucose positive (GPCB) coliform bacteria, E.coli.

[Application of the new culture medium for the isolation of Salmonella from water bodies to assess the epidemic safety of water use. Gigiena i Sanitaria (Hygiene and Sanitation, Russian)].

There was developed a liquid storage medium for the isolation of bacteria of genus Salmonella from water bodies (The culture medium for the accumulation of Salmonella, ready to use, “RNS”), providing the accumulation of Salmonella from different serogroups, inhibiting the growth of accompanying microflora, allowing to obtain objective information about the extent of bacterial contamination of water bodies. Medium is by nature of a solution for microbiological purposes which is produced by mixing the components with consequentfiltration and sterilization. In an experimental way there were chosen optimal ratios of the nutrient medium ingredients: extract offodder yeast in an amount of 4.

[The significance of glucose positive coliform bacteria and potentially pathogenic bacteria as an indicator of epidemiological safety of tap water].

Due to intensive anthropogenic pollution of water environment generally accepted indicators of epidemic security of water bodies--common bacteria (CB) and thermotolerant coliform bacteria (TCB) do not always permit to obtain an objective characterization of bacterial contamination of tap water. From the point of view of authors the integral index--glucose positive coliform bacteria most adequately reflect the sanitary-hygienic and epidemiological situation of water bodies. In monitoring for bacterial quality of tap water it is advisable to determine glucose positive coliform bacteria, that will provide the relevance of estimation of the epidemiological safety of water use.
