Contribution to the bacteriological analysis of REGIDESO water

This work is a contribution to the bacteriological analysis of the REGIDESO water consumed by the population of the KYESHERO district, city of Goma, Province of North Kivu in R.D Congo in 2017. After sampling, treatment, culture and analysis of the data, the following results were obtained: 7 Salmonella, 24 Schigella, 19 White Staphylococci, 42 Escherichia coli nermanii, 22 E. coli, 15 E. Coli vulneris, 37 E. Coli enterotoxigenic. No fungi were observed in our analyses. In view of the above, it is confirmed that the water consumed in the KYESHERO district, after transport, storage and conservation, contains pathogenic germs and constitutes a public health problem for this population.
