Question
Chapter 27.L1, Problem 1WC
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Although there are strict regulatory measures and controlled processes conducted to treat the municipal water, several outbreaks of enteric diseases have been reported. There may be several reasons to it. Also, major care is taken in elimination of the coliforms from the water.

Every year, supposedly safe municipal water supplies causeoutbreaks of enteric illness.a. How in the course of water analysis and treatment might thesepathogens be missed?b. Why is there less tolerance for a fecal coliform in drinking orrecreational water than for other bacteria?
Every year, supposedly safe municipal water supplies cause outbreaks of enteric illness.Using the Wisconsin outbreak example from the 1990s, explain how pathogens can slip through water analysis and treatment processes undetected and untreated.
If coliform bacteria are native to human colons, why the big concern over coliform contamination?

As we discussed, in March and April of 1993 there was a major outbreak of gastrointestinal illness in Milwaukee, Wisconsin caused by contamination in the public drinking water supply. As summarized by MacKenzie et al.1, “throughout the period from February to April 1993, samples of treated water from both (water treatment) plants were negative for coliforms and were within the limits set by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources for water quality.” Why, in this case, did coliforms remain at acceptable levels despite water contamination that resulted in over 400,000 cases of gastrointestinal illness?arrow_forwardMatch the microorganisms in column A with their corresponding product incolumn B, then match your answer in column B to column C.arrow_forward
