Description

E. coli are considered indicators of recent faecal contamination as they are found almost exclusively in the gastrointestinal tract of humans and animals. According to WHO and the Australian Drinking Water Guidelines, the permissible limits of E. coli should be 0/100 ml for drinking water.

Regular monitoring enables early detection of contamination, which is essential for monitoring water quality and implementing appropriate interventions.

When testing water for E. coli, there are two important factors to consider.
The first is detection limit, which is the smallest amount of bacteria the test can find.
The second is called time to results, which is just how fast the test gives you an answer. The type of test you need depends on your use. For example, testing wastewater or groundwater may not require the same speed or sensitivity as testing drinking water or water used for bathing, as safety standards will be much stricter.
