Abstract
Two beaches at Malaga, Spain, (one clearly polluted, one a ''blue flag '' beach) were studied to establish their microbiological status; epid emiological studies were carried out to identify any association betwe en use of the beaches and enteric or non-enteric diseases; Correlation s were then sought between the results of the two studies. Skin infect ions were found to be associated with seawater levels of. aeruginosa, C. albicans and A. hydrophila, which could be related to faecal contam ination.
