Abstract
Trichomonads were not demonstrated either microscopically or by culture in water samples from 15 public open air swimming pools in the Tyrol. On the other hand, a small number of pathogenic fungi (Candida albicans, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Tr. verrucosum) were cultured from pool water with a free chlorine content of less than 0.35 mg/l (DPD 1). Dermatophytes could also be demonstrated by cultures of the coatings on the surfaces of tiles in the showers, and of pool surrounding-and cabin tract floors. (Candida albicans, Trichophyton mentagrophytes, Epidermophyton floccosum, Scopulariopsis brevicaulis).
