ISOLATION OF PATHOGENS ENTEROBACTERIA FROM AGRO-INDUSTRIAL WASTE OF FAMATINA VALLEY-LA RIOJATorrez Lamberti|||MF1; Mohamed|||F1; Pescaretti|||MM1; Delgado|||MA1; López|||FE21Instituto Sup. de Investigaciones Biológicas (INSIBIO-CONICET-UNT). 2Universidad Nac. de ChilecitoE-mail: felopez@fbqf.unt.edu.arThe Famatina Valley´s agroindustrial activity displayed a significant increase in the level of production and in the new company?s establishment, such as wine and olive oil industries. Consequently, this growth was accompanied by the need to expand areas of cultivation, manufacturing plants and urbanization of the region to contain the worker and their family. These environmental changes increase the risk of the water and soils sources contamination, which could displace the autochthonous microbiota and promote the emergence of humans and farm animal?s pathogens. In this work we characterized the microbiota present in samples obtained from different sources: i) grape marc of La Riojana Co wine producing; ii) effluents water samples from Agroarauco Co (olive oil producer) and iii) effluents wastewater treatment ?Aguas de La Rioja?. In the samples from the source i, ii and iii, processed in selective media, we identified a variable number of species belonging to the enterobacteria group, representing a 3.3, 20.6 and 45% of the total cultivable microbiota obtained in LB media (per ml of sample), respectively. Moreover, we detected Salmonella andShigella strains at a variable number. The presence of these pathogens represents a potential hazard for the human health, suggesting that the increase these industries production will aggravate this risk if not properly controlled.
