Resumo: | Water quality control is one of the fundamental actions for disease prevention. One of the most frequent causes of death in the world is water-borne diseases, where the most commonly found contaminating bacteria are Acinetobacter spp, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. The lack of potable water is not always noticeable to sight or smell, requiring a laboratory analysis to detect it. As water quality is an essential factor in maintaining human health, in health settings, it is necessary to confirm the quality of the water offered to patients. Thus, the point of collection of water samples was selected in a Health Unit located in the municipality of Itajubá, Minas Gerais. The analysis of the presence of total coliforms and Escherichia coli was performed using the Colilert® reagent, which is approved by the standard method for water and sewage analysis Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater. The results were evaluated by changing the color indicating the presence or absence of total coliforms and E. coli. At the Health Unit, all samples were negative for total coliforms and the presence of E. coli, indicating that the samples are suitable for consumption. The objective of this work was to verify the microbiological quality of the water that is provided to a Health Unit and to warn of the importance of quality monitoring aiming at the prevention and dissemination of diseases that can further aggravate the situation of already debilitated patients. |

Una de las causas de muerte más frecuentes en el mundo son las enfermedades transmitidas por el agua, donde las bacterias contaminantes más comúnmente encontradas son Acinetobacter spp, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa y Staphylococcus aureus. La falta de agua potable no siempre es perceptible a la vista u olfato, requiriendo un análisis de laboratorio para detectarla. Dado que la calidad del agua es un factor esencial para el mantenimiento de la salud humana, en los entornos sanitarios es necesario confirmar la calidad del agua que se ofrece a los pacientes. Así, se seleccionó el punto de recolección de muestras de agua en una Unidad de Salud ubicada en el municipio de Itajubá, Minas Gerais. El análisis de la presencia de coliformes totales y Escherichia coli se llevó a cabo utilizando el reactivo Colilert®, que está aprobado por el método estándar para análisis de agua y aguas residuales Métodos estándar para el examen de agua y aguas residuales. Los resultados se evaluaron cambiando el color que indica la presencia o ausencia de coliformes totales y E. coli. En la Unidad de Salud, todas las muestras resultaron negativas para coliformes totales y la presencia de E. coli, lo que indica que las muestras son aptas para el consumo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue verificar la calidad microbiológica del agua que se suministra a una Unidad de Salud y advertir de la importancia del monitoreo de la calidad con el objetivo de prevenir y diseminar enfermedades que pueden agravar aún más la situación de los pacientes ya debilitados.O controle de qualidade da água é uma das ações fundamentais para a prevenção de doenças. Uma das causas mais frequentes de morte no mundo são as doenças transmitidas pela água, onde as bactérias contaminantes mais encontradas são Acinetobacter spp, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa e Staphylococcus aureus. A falta da potabilidade da água nem sempre é perceptível à visão ou olfato, sendo necessária uma análise laboratorial para detectá-la. Como a qualidade da água é um fator imprescindível à manutenção da saúde humana, em ambientes de saúde, faz-se necessária a confirmação da qualidade da água oferecida aos pacientes. Assim, foi selecionado o ponto de coleta de amostras de água em uma Unidade de Saúde localizados no município de Itajubá, Minas Gerais. Foi realizada a análise de presença de coliformes totais e de Escherichia coli por utilizando o reagente Colilert®, que é aprovado pelo método padrão para análise de água e esgoto Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater. Os resultados foram avaliados por alteração de cor indicativa de presença ou ausência de coliformes totais e E. coli. Na Unidade de Saúde, todas as amostras, foram negativas para coliformes totais e presença de E.coli, indicando que as amostras são próprias para consumo. O objetivo desse trabalho foi verificar a qualidade microbiológica da água que é fornecida a uma Unidade de Saúde e alertar para a importância do monitoramento da qualidade visando a prevenção e disseminação de doenças que podem agravar ainda mais o quadro de pacientes já debilitados.Research, Society and Development2021-05-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/1522010.33448/rsd-v10i6.15220Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 No. 6; e33910615220Research, Society and Development; Vol. 10 Núm. 6; e33910615220Research, Society and Development; v. 10 n. 6; e339106152202525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIporhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/15220/14918Copyright (c) 2021 Ana Carolina França; Guilherme Passos de Abreu; Laiz Furlan Balioni; Patrícia Capellato; Maria Gabriela Araújo Ranieri; Ana Lúcia Fonseca; Gilza Carla Ribeiro; Paulo Sergio Marques; Daniela Sachshttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFrança, Ana CarolinaAbreu, Guilherme Passos de Balioni, Laiz Furlan Capellato, PatríciaRanieri, Maria Gabriela Araújo Fonseca, Ana Lúcia Ribeiro, Gilza CarlaMarques, Paulo SergioSachs, Daniela2021-06-10T22:51:46Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/15220Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:36:05.709702Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false |
