Abstract

It has been shown that the survival capabilities of the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in water environments is different depending upon the strain of the bacteria. When entering sea or river water, the pathogenic bacteria must withstand keen competition against numerous saprophytic microflora. It is found that different strains of Listeria and Yersinia adapted to low positive temperatures can reproduce in non-sterile sea and river water under low positive temperatures and remain there for long periods of time.
