AB  - The study investigates the fate and transport of microorganisms introduced by 
      artificial groundwater recharge at the Nardo fractured aquifer in Salento, Italy. 
      Microbial indicators of faecal contamination, parasitic protozoa (Giardia and 
      Cryptosporidium) and pathogenic bacteria (Campylobacter spp.), were monitored 
      into injected water and groundwater to test the efficiency of the "natural 
      disinfection" into the fractured aquifer. A remarkable decrease of microbial 
      indicators and pathogens was observed suggesting that pathogens removal or 
      inactivation may be possible during water flow in fractured aquifer. The recently 
      described PNA probe CJE195 (Lehtola et al. 2005) was utilised for the rapid and 
      specific detection of Campylobacter spp. by fluorescence in situ hybridization 
      (FISH) after enrichment. FISH results were consistent with those of traditional 
      cultural method (ISO 17995) applied in parallel: time required for Campylobacter 
      identification was reduced of 4 days.
