Bacterial Survey of Representative Denton County Wells with Special Reference to Sanitation (open access)

Bacterial Survey of Representative Denton County Wells with Special Reference to Sanitation

This thesis aimed to study the seventy-two representative wells of Denton County and to determine the possibilities of infection with typhoid organism. The sanitary survey and the test for Colon-Aerogenes bacteria show that 55% of the 72 wells studied are unsanitary, 27% are sanitary, and 18% are doubtful.

A Quantitative and Qualitative Bacterial Analysis of Pecan Creek (open access)

A Quantitative and Qualitative Bacterial Analysis of Pecan Creek

Since Pecan Creek receives sewage wastes from an obviously inadequate disposal system, it seemed possible that it could receive pathogenic bacteria. The fact that these might be present in numbers sufficient to cause epidemics, provided the proper natural vectors were present, stimulated an interest in and the pursuance of this study.
