Abstract | Due to the ease of measurement, the coliform bacteria have been used to indicate the degree of pollution of water with wastes from human or animal sources. The objective was to correlate the concentration of coliform bacteria, fecal streptococci or coliphage in polluted water to viral pathogens. It was hoped that a correlation could be established between the two, so that the measurement of one would provide a quantitative estimate of the other. From a total of 181 sewage samples studied, no correlation was found between coliform bacteria, fecal streptococci, coliphage and enteric viruses. |
