Coliform Bacteria in Drinking Water.
Coliform bacteria can be
defined as facultatively anaerobic, Gram-negative and non-spore-forming rods shape
bacteria that ferment lactose vigorously to acid and gas at 35 ± 2 °C temperature
within 24 or 48 h. Coliform bacteria often
are considered as indicators of fecal contamination and pathogenic enteric
bacteria.Coliform bacteria generally belong to four genera of the Enterobacteriaceae, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter cloacae, Enterobacter aerogenes,
E. coli, and Klebsiella
pneumonia.

Coliform bacteria will not likely cause illness but their
presence in the drinking water indicates that the disease-causing organisms
could be in the water system. Pathogens that can be contaminate water supplies which
may be come from the feces of humans or animals.
