Improved membrane filtration media for enumeration of total coliforms and Escherichia coli from sewage and surface waters

T A Freier et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1987 Jun.

Abstract

Two media were developed that allowed both a total coliform count and an Escherichia coli count to be determined on the same medium after 24 h of incubation at 35 degrees C. The new media were tested along with two standard media on 10 surface water and 7 sewage samples. The experimental media yielded equivalent or higher counts relative to the standard media and recovered more specifically the desired indicator groups as determined by colony identification.
