Inficiranje hidrobionata sa potencijalno patogenim mikroorganizmima

The results of isolation and identification (API test-systems) of the cultures of Enterobacteria and “non-fermentating” microorganisms from water, zooplankton (protozoa, cyclopes, daphnias), chironomids larvae of natural and anthropogenic water reservo- irs are produced. Spectrum of potentially pathogenic bacteria in water and in the hydrobionts was rather wide (16 genera) and of similar composition. Microflora of chironomids proved to be less heterogenous than that of zooplankton. The most frequently observed microbes were found to belong to Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, as well as to Actinomyces and Candida. Both aquatic and overground ecosystems can be a habitat of microorganisms that are potentially pathogenic to man and animals.
