Abstract:
During one whole year (1983) Salmonella investigations were carried out in a total of 54 water samples taken from the sewage system of the town Kiel (FRG). Salmonella were present in 47 samples. 6181 strains were biochemically and serologically identified. The predominant serotypes isolated were S. typhi-murium, S. panama, S. schwarzengrund and S. hadar. A correlation could be demonstrated between salmonella found in sewage and registered human excreters.
