Abstract/Contents:"Freshwater, sewage, and fecal samples from various sources were examined for Rhodococcus coprophilus, associated actinomycetes, Escherichia coli, and fecal streptococci. Rhodococcus coprophilus was isolated consistently from feces of farm animals, poultry reared in proximity to farm animals, freshwater, and wastewater polluted with animal fecal wastes. It was not isolated from samples of human feces. The ratio of R. coprophilus total actinomycetes was higher in feces from cattle, sheep, ducks, and geese than in specimens from pigs, horses, and fowl. In samples from two freshwater streams polluted by fecal material from farm animals, the ratios of R. copropilus to total actinomycetes were similar to those found in fecal specimens from cattle and sheep. Ratios of fecal coliform to fecal streptococci could not distinguish between fresh human and animal fecal samples and, furthermore, were not reflected in the stream waters polluted by animal fecal material. R. coprophilus has potential in water and dairy bacteriology as a specific indicator organism of fecal pollution due to farm animal wastes."
