Abstract
THE contamination of our rivers and beaches with bacteria related to Salmonella, caused by the disposal of domestic sewage, is well known. Domestic sewage, collected in the main drainage of the city of Hamburg, has been continually tested for Salmonella during the past twenty years. Salmonella occurs at a density equivalent to 5,000 organisms in 1,000 ml. of sewage.
