Microbial Fact Sheets

Fact sheets are provided on potential waterborne pathogens as well as on indicator and index microorganisms.

The potential waterborne pathogens include: 

• bacteria, viruses, protozoa and helminths, with the exception of Schistosoma, which is primarily spread by contact with contaminated surface water during bathing and washing;
• potentially emerging pathogens, including Helicobacter pylori, Tsukamurella, Isospora belli and microsporidia, for which waterborne transmission is plausible but unconfirmed;
• Bacillus, which includes the foodborne pathogenic species Bacillus cereus but for which there is no evidence at this time of waterborne transmission; and
• hazardous cyanobacteria.

1. Bonjour 

   Tous ces micros organismes se trouvent également dans l'air dans la nourriture que nous absorbons, sur nous en  nous. Ils sont tous utilent même ceux qui régulent la vie sur terre par la sélection naturelle

    

   Hello

   All these microorganisms are also found in the air in the food we absorb, on us in us. They are all even useful ones that regulate life on earth through natural selection
