Evaluation of Petrifilm™ EC and HS for total coliforms and Escherichia coli enumeration in water

Petrifilm(TM) EC and HS were compared to the MPN method to determine their efficacy to enumerate total coliforms and E. coli in 145 samples of water (76 water in natura, 69 drinking water). For water in natura, Petrifilm(TM) HS and EC showed good correlation with MPN method. In chlorinated water (
