Testing for the presence of coliform is important in the food industry especially in monitoring water quality.
Coliforms are gram-negative, facultative anaerobic, non-spore forming bacteria and commonly found in animal intestines and soil. The term “coliform” refers to enteric bacteria found in food stuff such as meat, shellfish, dairy products, other foods and in particular water.
Bacteria such as Shigella, Salmonella, Yersinia, Citrobacter, Klebsiella, and Enterobacter are all coliforms, but the most recognized coliform is Escherichia coli.
