TY - JOUR N2 - The paper presents the results of studies on detection, occurrence and differentiation of the waterborne bacterial potential pathogens from Staphylococcus genus in the water of Wigry Lake watering places in north-eastern Poland. The samples of water were collected from June 1995 to September 1999 at one-month intervals, during bathing season. Eight sampling stations were selected in the most attended watering places of the lake, situated near landing stages, camping sites and holiday resorts were investigated. The watering places in the northern part of Lake Wigry (called Ploso Northern) showed the highest number of waterborne bacterial pathogens from Staphylococcus genus. The most numerous were species: Staphylocorcus capitis, Staphylococcus cohnii, Staphylococcus len/us and Staphylococcus xylosus. Pathogens from Staphylococcus aureus species identified in I 0% of water samples in the absence of faecal bacteria from Escherichia coli species (in 100 crn' of water). The Czarna Hańcza River, which brought a lot of purified sewage from Wastewater Treatment Plant in Suwałki to northern part of Wigry Lake has immense influence on the pollution of this part Wigry Lake.
