Abstract

Clinical complications especially diarrhoea and other enteric diseases have long been taking place in the comparatively densely populated regions with the general lack of knowledge on hygiene as well as lack of facilities/amenities. Water and the street vended juices, including the carbonated beverages, are frequently triggering sickness especially among the children. The potential bacteria, viruses and parasites residing within the different sources of waters and in a wide range of liquid products have long been investigated worldwide for the maintenance of public health sustainability. On the basis of previous literature and reports, the present review focused on the pathogenic microorganisms with particular emphasis on microbial status of water and the commonly available drinks consumed by the mass people in Bangladesh. The possible events applicable to ensure the microbiological quality is also discussed.
