What is it about?
The aim of this work was to determine Salmonella presence in river water with an ultrafiltration system coupled with the ISO 6579:1993 isolation standard method (UFS-ISO). Most probable number (MPN) method was used directly in water samples to estimate Salmonella populations.

Why is it important?
Water turbidity did not affect Salmonella determination regardless of the performed method. But, choosing the appropriate strategy to study Salmonella in river water samples is necessary to clarify its behavior and transport in the environment.
Perspectives
These findings suggest that Salmonella abundance in Sinaloa rivers is not a health risk for human infections in spite of its persistence.
