About This Item

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Coliform bacteria are the commonly-used bacterial indicator of sanitary quality of foods and water. They are defined as rod-shaped Gram-negative non-spore forming organisms that ferment lactose with the production of acid and gas when incubated at 35-37°C. Coliforms are abundant in the feces of warm-blooded animals, but can also be found in the aquatic environment, in soil and on vegetation. In most instances, coliforms themselves are not the cause of sickness, but they are easy to culture and their presence is used to indicate that other pathogenic organisms of fecal origin may be present. Fecal pathogens include bacteria, viruses, protozoa or parasites.

Typical genera include:[1]

* Citrobacter,
* Enterobacter,
* Escherichia,
* Hafnia,
* Klebsiella,
* Serratia and
* Yersinia.

Today dropped the coli-bacteria in a NICE cache, called AARDIG (= dutch for NICE).
Luckilly I was not infected by this micro-organism.
Hopefully it will be found soon to travel on and infecting people!
