ABSTRACT:
A novel highly sensitive method for detection of the presence of total coliform and E. coli in water samples, food products, and seafood employs a new type of media having composition which allows an unequivocal detection of very small number of E. coli. The new low pH media which contain trimethylamine-N-oxide promote the growth of chlorine or food processing injured E. coli for their easier detection.
