Higher prevalence of Alternaria spp. in marine and river waters than in potable samples.

Abstract:

:Alternaria species have been recognized as important cause of allergic diseases and are considered opportunistic pathogens for immunocompromised individuals. In order to assess the contribution of waters to the spread of Alternaria, we examined 390 water samples of various origin for the presence of these microorganisms in parallel with the standard pollution indicator bacteria, i.e. total coliforms, faecal coliforms and enterococci. Alternaria spp. were isolated from 42 out of 196 (21.4%) marine water samples, from 13 out of 68 (19.1%) river samples, whereas out of 126 potable waters only two (1.6%) were found positive. The incidence of Alternaria was significantly higher (p < 0.001) in marine and river samples than in potable waters. The mean values of the colony-forming units of the pollution indicator bacteria did not significantly differ between Alternaria-positive and Alternaria-negative samples.
