Surface water
subtypes of serovars associated with illness in humans such as S. Enteritidis and S.
Typhimurium were also isolated from surface water and animal feces. Antimicrobial
resistance was generally low, but was highest among S. Typhimurium. Monitoring of these
rivers helps to identify vulnerable areas of a watershed and, despite a relatively low
prevalence of S. enterica overall, serovars observed in surface water are an indication of the
levels of specific S. enterica serovars present in humans and animals.
