Summary Introduction
To create:
Infographic or visual representation that describes the similarities and differences between E. coli and other coliforms.
Introduction:
Coliform bacteria are defined as Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore forming and both motile or non-motile bacteria and are capable of lactose fermentation. Coliform bacteria are defined as Gram-negative, rod-shaped, non-spore forming and both motile and non-motile bacteria and are also capable of lactose fermentation. They are used as indicator microbes for checking the sanitary quality of foods and water.
