Resumo
Inappropriate water consumption represents a health risk because it leads to an
increase in the incidence of infectious diseases propagated by water. Samples of water
collected in taps were evaluated for the presence of coliforms and other bacteria,
phenotypic tests were performed to identify them and define their patterns of antimicrobial
susceptibility. Were also analyzed for the presence of potentially toxic metals and for the
physico-chemical standards established for human consumed water. By means of the
microbiological evaluation it was possible to observe that the quantity of coliforms in the
majority of the samples is superior to that recommended by the organs that regulate the
water potability standards. In addition, through the microbiological analysis it was possible
to identify the presence of bacteria related to common diseases in humans, of which many
presented resistance to multiple antibacterial. Physico-chemical analyzes and potentially
toxic metals were performed, the results demonstrated that these parameters are in
agreement with the standards established for potable water by the normative institutions.
Thus, the present work alerts to the problem of bacterial contamination in water for
consumption of quilombola regions and also to the growing problem of the transmission of
antimicrobial resistance genes in water.
