摘要: A monitoring program was undertaken to assess the microbial quality of greywater collected from 93 typical households in Melbourne, Australia. total 185 samples, comprising 75 washing machine wash, 74 rinse and 36 bathroom samples were analysed for faecal indicator Escherichia coli. Of these, 104 also genetic markers pathogenic E coli 111 norovirus (genogroups GI GII), enterovirus rotavirus using RT-PCR. Enteric viruses detected 20 out (18%) 16 wash water 4 samples. Eight (7%) positive enterovirus, twelve (11%) genogroup GI, one (1%) GII another rotavirus. Two contained more than virus. Typical E. 3 (3%) atypical enteropathogenic 11 Levels highly variable presence not associated with human enteric greywater. There little correlation between reported gastrointestinal illness detection pathogens
