Field experiment reveals pathogenic bacteria in contaminated water from tea stalls, indicating potential health risks.
A field of experiment was carried out in the microbiology department of Primeasia University. Salmonella spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Vibrio spp. cause potentially epidemic and life threatening severely dehydrating disease. Cholera infections are most common by drinking contaminated water containing vibrio cholerae, found naturally or introduced from the feces of cholera patients. In this study, tea stall drinking water from tea stall was tested to identify possible source of infection. A total of 9 areas in Dhaka city, tea stall drinking water was collected and cultured in the lab. E. coli, Salmonella spp. and Vibrio spp. etc. microorganisms were detected and among those, E. coli was the most predominant.
