dc.description.abstractThe occurence of Campylobacter (C.) jejuni was studied in recreational lake and stream water and fresh fish during the months of April to June 2004 in the Kars district of Turkey. In total, 54 water samples were analyzed, 21 of which were from lake water (Cildir lake) and 21 were from stream water (Kars stream). Twelve samples were from untreated drinking water tabs. A total of 75 fresh fish (Capoeta capoeta capoeta, Capoeta trutta, Alburnoides bipunctatus, Leuciscus cephalus) samples that were caught from the same lake or stream were also analyzed. C. jejuni was detected by culturing in one sample out of 21 water samples from Cildir lake, at the level of 4.76 % with the value of 0.36 MPN/ml. Out of 21 water samples from Kars stream, 3 (14.28 %) were positive for C. jejuni. Values varied from <0.30 MPN/ml to 0.36 MPN/ml. No C. jejuni was detected in 12 unchlorinated drinking water samples. C. jejuni was isolated from the internal organs of 2.66 % (2 samples) of the fish examined. This is the first study in the region indicating water sources as a risk factor. In this case, even we could not isolate C. jejuni from untreated drinking water, C. jejuni was isolated from lake and stream water. Therefore, it was concluded that it is hazardous to use untreated surface water for drinking. Care should be taken regarding the use of these water sources even for only domestic purposes because there may be a threat to the health and well-being of users. Furthermore, contamination of agricultural products via irrigation has to be prevented.
