Abstract

Twenty four of thirty drinking water samples taken from each gallons has been identified as containing some bacteria with TPC indicator number 1 to 22 CFU/ml. TPC number of whole samples shows that the bacteria number tend to increase after it stored in water dispenser for some period of time. In two days, the TPC number has reached 2 to 98 CFU/ml, and after four days it reached 3 to 166 CFU/ml. Research shows that he three samples are not consumable after it stored in water dispenser for four days, since it contains bacteria with TPC number more than 100 CFU/ml. The increase of bacteria numbers, as the water stored in dispenser, might be caused by the reproduction of bacteria which has initially contaminated the drinking water. Otherwise, the increase of TPC number might also be caused by the bacteria in water dispenser itself. It is recommended for the consumer to clean the water dispenser before they exchange the gallons to prevent bacteria contamination in their drinking water.

Abstract

Anthrax is a zoonosis disease caused by Bacillus anthracis bacteria. This bacteria is able to produce an endospora that lasts for decades inside the soil and thus becomes an infection source (endemic areas), causing difficulties to eradicate this disease in Indonesia. This disease mainly infects cattle such as cows, goats, horses, and pigs in some cases. It can also infect humans through three ways which is per cutaneous, per oral, and per inhalation. The clinical manifestations in humans are malignant pustule, hematemesis, pneumonia hemorrhagic or meningitis. The success of eradicating anthrax from humans fully depends on the eradication of this disease from the animals.
