The data described in this article were obtained in a study to assess the bacteriological and physicochemical properties of packaged sachet water sold for public consumption. Sixty sachet water samples from 3 different brands (A, B and C) produced and consumed in Ota, Ogun State was collected. Stratified sampling method was used. Samples were subjected to microbiological analysis using pour plate method and colony counter to count the organisms. The packaged water samples were assessed for the total coliform count, total plate count and count on Salmonella- Shigella agar. Physicochemical parameters were also assayed for and reported here. The analysis of the data presented here can be helpful in improving public health and creating awareness of the risk of consumption of satchel water.
本文所述数据来自一项旨在评估供公众消费的包装袋装水的细菌学和物理化学性质的研究。从奥贡州奥塔生产和消费的3个不同品牌(A、B和C)中收集了60个袋装水样本。采用分层抽样方法。使用倾注平板法和菌落计数器对样本进行微生物分析以计数微生物。对包装水样本进行了总大肠菌群计数、总平板计数以及沙门氏菌-志贺氏菌琼脂平板上的计数评估。还测定并报告了物理化学参数。此处呈现的数据分析有助于改善公众健康并提高对饮用袋装水风险的认识。
