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