Site abbreviations are as follows: GW groundwater, TNP Tatra National Park, USTP upstream of the sewage treatment plant, STP sewage treatment plant, DSTP1 c.a. 3 km downstream of the STP, DSTP2 c.a. 7 km downstream of the STP (for detailed description, please see caption of Fig. 2).
Information on pathogenicity was obtained from the following sources: Murray et al.⁴⁴, Szewczyk⁴⁵, Smith et al.⁴⁶, Endicott-Yazdani et al.⁴⁷; Fisher and Denison⁴⁸.
The highest values are in bold.
