TESTING OF METHODOLOGY FOR ASSESSING THE MICROBIAL RISK OF BACTERIAL INTESTINAL INFECTIONS OCCURRENCE IN THE DIRECT DETERMINATION OF PATHOGENIC AND POTENTIALLY PATHOGENIC BACTERIA IN TAP WATER
Testing of methods showed compliance between the calculated data by an integral indicator of risk and actual incidence of acute intestinal infections in population in the studied towns, which proves its value in assessing the microbial risk of the occurrence of bacterial intestinal infections in the drinking water use and indicates the possibility of application in practice for prediction and prevention of intestinal infections transmitted by water.
