In recent years, hospital infections caused by opportunist microorganisms in immunsupressed patient group are becoming
gradually important. It is determined that these microorganisms grow easily in water distribution systems even producing
biofilm from time to time. In this research, it was aimed to determine microbial population in water samples taken from
distribution system of a grand hospital. For this purpose water samples collected from 100 different points of water
distribution system belonging to different units of the hospital were analyzed in terms of bacteriology and mycology. In these
analysis, membrane filter method was used. Samples were examined with bacteriological and mycological methods. In 84
(84%) samples most frequent bacteria determined were Bacillus spp (77%), Bacillus cereus (11%) and Pseudomonas (5%),
staphyllococci (4%) and the rest were miscellaneous bacteria and in 16 samples (16%) more than one type of bacteria were
isolated. In 51 samples (51%), 16 types of mold were isolated, Penicillium spp (24%), Aspergillus (8%) Acromonium spp
(5%) were more frequent and in 13 samples (13%) it was determined that more than one type of fungi reproduced. In six
samples no growth of fungi was observed.
Finally, Spearman correlation test was applied to determine the correlation between the growths of isolated bacteria and
fungi, but correlation was not found.
