Fifteen stations, in two estuaries, along the Northumberland Strait of Nova Scotia were examined between June and September 1981 for a relationship between the concentrations of commonly monitored fecal indicator bacteria and the potential pathogens Candida albicans, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Increased densities of these three organisms were usually associated with high densities of indicator bacteria. Whereas C. albicans and P. aeruginosa occur in human fecal wastes, V. parahaemolyticus is indigenous to the marine environment and positively responds to elevated nutrient levels in sewage. There is also some evidence that these bacteria survive as long or longer in marine waters than the common indicator bacteria. While membrane-filtration techniques for the enumeration of C. albicans and P. aeruginosa proved satisfactory, a V. parahaemolyticus membrane-filtration method lacked specificity and was supplemented by a most-probable-number method. In marine recreational and shellfish waters, these three organisms could complement fecal coliforms and fecal streptococci as indicators of human fecal contamination.
1981年6月至9月期间，对新斯科舍省诺森伯兰海峡两个河口的15个监测站进行了调查，以研究常见监测的粪便指示菌浓度与潜在病原体白色念珠菌、铜绿假单胞菌和副溶血性弧菌之间的关系。这三种生物密度的增加通常与指示菌的高密度有关。白色念珠菌和铜绿假单胞菌存在于人类粪便废物中，而副溶血性弧菌是海洋环境中的原生菌，对污水中营养水平的升高有正向反应。也有一些证据表明，这些细菌在海水中存活的时间与常见指示菌一样长或更长。虽然用于计数白色念珠菌和铜绿假单胞菌的膜过滤技术被证明是令人满意的，但副溶血性弧菌膜过滤方法缺乏特异性，因此补充了最可能数法。在海洋娱乐用水和贝类养殖水域中，这三种生物可以作为粪便大肠菌群和粪链球菌的补充指标，用于指示人类粪便污染。
