Abstract

This Uganda Standard specifies a method for the enumeration of E. coli and coliform bacteria in water. The method is based on the growth of target organisms in a liquid medium and calculation of the `Most Probable Number` (MPN) of organisms by reference to MPN tables. This method can be applied to all types of water, including those containing an appreciable amount of suspended matter and high background counts of heterotrophic bacteria. (This Uganda Standard cancels and replaces US ISO 9308-2:1990, Water quality - Detection and enumeration of coliform organisms, thermo tolerant coliform organisms and presumptive Escherichia coli - Part 2: Multiple tube (Most Probable Number) method, 1st Edition, which has been technically revised). This standard was PUBLISHED on 2013-06-25.
