Distribution of Enteric Bacteria in the Quebec City Section of the St-Lawrence River
Keyword(s):
Abstract During the summer of 1973, a survey was made in order to establish the level of enteric bacteria in the sediments and water of the St-Lawrence River. In the sediments, the number of total bacteria, yeast and mold fluctuates from station to station and with the tide. Higher counts of total and fecal coliform were encountered on the north shore than on the south shore resulting from Quebec City sewerage. The number of fecal bacteria decreased when approaching the Gulf and their number was higher at rising tide. The main species encountered were Klebsiella pneumonia, Salmonella enteridis and Escherichia spp.
