The presence and level of faecal indicator bacteria are important factors in estimating the
microbiological quality of surface water and the risk of human infection upon exposure to this …

Microbiological water quality is traditionally assessed using culture-based enumeration of
faecal indicator bacteria such as Escherichia coli. Despite their relative ease of use, these …
