Escherichia coli as an indicator of bacteriological quality of water: an overview [PDF]

Microbiology Research, 2013
Monitoring the microbiological quality of drinking water relies largely on examination of indicator bacteria such as coliforms, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. E. coli is a member of the faecal coliform group and is a more specific indicator of faecal pollution than other faecal coliforms.
