TI  - Coliforms and Salmonella in seawater near to domestic sewage sources in Fortaleza 
      (Ceara, Brazil).
PG  - 463-70
AB  - The bacteriological conditions of the coastal region of Fortaleza (Ceara, 
      Brasil), including the coastal zones of the Ceara and Coco rivers, were examined. 
      The study was conducted during June, September and December 1993, and March 1994. 
      The region was divided into two areas: (i) Direct Influence Area (DIA), 
      consisting of 20 sampling stations located near to discharge zones of the 
      submarine pipeline system, where collections were carried out at the surface, and 
      (ii) Indirect Influence Area (IIA), located near to the coastal zone, including 
      Barra do Ceara, Kartodromo, Volta de Jurema, Mucuripe, Farol and Caca e Pesca 
      beaches, totalling 26 sampling stations. The most probable number (MPN) of both 
      total and fecal coliforms in DIA was positive only in station number 6, near to 
      the sewage discharge exit. The following bacteria were identified: Citrobacter 
      sp., Enterobacter aerogenes and Escherichia coli. Kartodromo beach was 
      contaminated throughout the sampling period. Results of total fecal MPN was 
      essentially lower than 3.0 x 10(2) coliforms/100 ml at Caca e Pesca beach. In 
      December, at both DIA and IIA, Salmonella was identified in several samples. In 
      DIA, the spatial distribution for Salmonella suggests that there should be a 
      coastal sea current from east to west along the coastline. In IIA, Salmonella was 
      identified at Kartodromo and Farol beaches throughout the sampling period.
