摘要:The aim of this work was to detect the presence of Salmonella spp.in recreational aquatic environments in the Northeast of Argentina and to relate it with water and environmental parameters.Sixty eight samples of water from recreational aquatic environments in the provinces of Chaco and Corrientes, Argentina, were studied.Salmonellae were detected in 6 samples (8.8%).Salmonella spp.isolates belonged to the following species and serovars: S.enterica serovar Give, S.enterica subespecie IV, S.enterica ser.Bredeney, S.enterica ser.Rubislaw, and S.enterica ser.Enteritidis (two isolates).None of the isolates were resistant to tested antimicrobials.There were no significant differences among sampling sites as a reservoir of bacteria Salmonella spp.and the other variables.The presence of Salmonella spp.in our recreational aquatic environments reaffirms the need for monitoring in order to minimize the risks of infection to exposed persons.
