Enterovirus contamination of swimming pool water; correlation with bacteriological indicators

The investigation of swimming pool water samples revealed the presence of enteroviruses (in 28.4% of the samples), as well as of coliforms, fecal streptococci, staphylococci and Candida albicans (in proportions ranging from 37.0 to 86.9% of the samples). A direct correlation could be established bet...

Description
Summary:	The investigation of swimming pool water samples revealed the presence of enteroviruses (in 28.4% of the samples), as well as of coliforms, fecal streptococci, staphylococci and Candida albicans (in proportions ranging from 37.0 to 86.9% of the samples). A direct correlation could be established between the extent of viral and microbial pollution and the length of stagnation of the swimming pool water.
