Escherichia coli, Streptococcus faecalis, Salmonella typhimurium , and Staphylococcus aureus were tested by plate counts and Warburg respirometry to determine effects of the presence of carbaryl in water. E. coli and S. typhimurium were initially stimulated in the presence of the insecticide whereas S. faecalis and S. aureus were inhibited. Over a period of days, all bacteria died off more rapidly in the presence of carbaryl. The implications of these data in regards to bacteriological testing of water quality are discussed.
